The treasure box - a storage place for individual treasures and personal valuables. Which special pieces did Queen Luise of Prussia once keep in her tin? The limited edition of the “Boite de Louise” tells stories of its time and, with its contemporary design, invites you to revel in your favorite pieces again and again.
HERMANN AUGUST WEIZENEGGER
Together, KPM chief designer Thomas Wenzel and industrial designer Hermann August Weizenegger developed the fascinatingly versatile jewelry box. The first thing that catches the eye is the elaborately crafted glass lid of the can. To do this, Weizenegger resorted to the long-forgotten technology of glass block production for chandeliers. The glass blank is individually pressed by hand and then ground and polished. The smoky color is created by metallic particles that are applied using a complex high-vacuum process. This means that each lid is a unique piece made by hand.

WHAT SPECIAL PIECES DID QUEEN LUISE OF PRUSSIA ONCE KEEP IN HER BOX?
The porcelain body, the center of the piece of jewelry, is evidence of the manufactory's unique expertise. The virtuosity in handling the material porcelain is reflected in the processing using a diamond cutting process in which the porcelain piece is perfected by hand. Thomas Wenzel further developed the industrial designer Weizenegger's design and applied it to the special features of the noble material. The combination of the deep black color of the object's exterior with the shiny gold interior exudes something mysterious and mystical.
