A real statement piece, the design reflects the spiralling sensation of falling into the vortex while playing poker – the anticipation of reading your opponents at the table before you play your next hand, of drawing then in as you prepare to bluff, and the excitement of the dealer exposing your cards.

FULL CIRCLE
The concentric design is highly complex, with the circles comprising hundreds of pieces of purposely chosen wood. Shaped according to the direction of the grain, each piece is cut by hand by the marquetry artist so that the patterning on the surface of the woods aligns perfectly with the position of the circles within the design, which radiate across all sides of the box.
