This work by Dutch designer Caroline Reboux, created between 1934 and 1960, is an oval hatbox, a quintessential element of fashion history. Constructed from cardboard and covered in beige crinkled paper, the box exemplifies Reboux's minimalist aesthetic, typical of her later career. The hatbox's simple form and understated details evoke a sense of functionality and practicality. Reboux, known for her innovative and avant-garde millinery designs, infused everyday objects like this hatbox with her artistic vision, turning it into an object of beauty and elegance.
