Knife caskets of the SIL Manufactory from Maria Stalina®
Knife Boxes by SiL Manufacture from Maria Stalina ®
SiL Manufacture knives are appreciated by collectors for blade hardness, quality mechanics and finishing, attention to detail, and use of premium materials. The main feature of the company is the unusual construction and design of the knife...
Packaging Concept
The Collective Cognitive Creative team carefully considered how to create a frame worthy of the work. How to surprise a collector? How to make the packaging functional? And is it possible to make it a real art object worthy of the knife? Turns out, it is possible!
 
Russian Lacquer Miniature
The boxes are made according to the canons of traditional Russian lacquer miniatures by artisans from the village of Kholuy, following centuries-old techniques of papier-mâché and lacquer painting.
 
 
Skull and Kaschey
Thus, two boxes were created, provisionally named "Skull" and "Kaschey". Skull is monochrome, brutal, with "near-Celtic" motifs. Kaschey is bright, romantic, with motifs from Russian folk tales.
 
 
Functionality
The insert for knife storage can be easily removed, turning the box into a universal container for any items — banknotes, coins, powders, and more.
Availability
The boxes were originally intended only as packaging for knives; separate sale was not planned. Knife buyers receive the box for free. However, now it is possible to purchase the box separately.
