Aesthetic plus function
An object should be visually calm and useful at the same time. Beauty matters, but repeated use is the real test.

Elephant Slide Wooden Storage Box
Character that keeps things together
The elephant-and-slide storage box gives this piece its distinctive outline. It is made with rosewood, black walnut and contrasting natural woods, allowing shifts in color and grain to remain part of the design. Notice a liftable storage area framed by an elephant silhouette; these details make the object recognizable from more than one angle.
The design makes space for keys, sweets and small stationery while staying visually contained. Seen close up, the meeting of edges, curves and wood tones gives it more character than a plain utility item. It is the sort of piece that can be used often and still reward a second look.

At home and cared for
Place this piece on a child’s room, desk or entry surface, where its shape can be seen and its purpose stays convenient. Leave breathing room around the elephant-and-slide storage box. The timber tones sit beside ceramics, textiles and everyday materials, so the setting feels lived-in rather than staged.
Dust with a soft, dry cloth and dry any accidental moisture promptly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, prolonged dampness and strong direct sun, which can affect the finish. Keep the surface free of grit before wiping so the grain stays pleasant to touch. This simple routine helps the object remain part of daily life without elaborate maintenance.
Hand-shaped detail
The handwork behind the form
The handwork begins with the elephant side panel and slide-like rim, while the parts are separate and unfinished. Each blank must be cut to the intended outline before smaller edges and openings can be worked. Sanding by hand softens the places people will see or touch, but the form is built gradually rather than appearing fully shaped in one step.
A maker checks how the pieces meet, then returns to any awkward edge before final assembly and surface finishing. The grain differs in every blank, so careful placement matters as much as cutting. That patient sequence of shaping, fitting and refining gives the completed piece its balanced, human-made character.

A more considered home layout
In a home layout, the elephant-and-slide storage box can act as a focal point. Its wood tone connects nearby furniture and accessories, while its outline gives the eye a place to pause. Because loose small objects can return to one defined place, the surrounding surface or wall can feel more intentional without a redesign.
Give the piece space to keep its shape legible, then let neighbors stay simpler. On a child’s room, desk or entry surface, it combines usefulness with warmth. The change is quiet: less visual noise, a clearer place for keys, sweets and small stationery, and a room that feels personal to the people using it.

Shaped by hand
The shape is not finished in one pass. Work on the elephant side panel and slide-like rim involves cutting, close inspection and edge refinement. Final hand-sanding leaves the exposed wood comfortable to handle.

About us
About OUI
Quiet design for everyday order
OUI is a home goods studio focused on warm materials, clear function and a slower visual language. The goal is to make ordinary rooms feel more settled, not more complicated.
Who is OUI?
OUI creates home objects that support small routines: writing, setting down keys, arranging tools, clearing a surface, preparing a gift or making a quiet corner feel complete. The brand direction comes from the belief that good design combines aesthetics and function.
Instead of chasing a loud style, OUI works with a restrained palette: paper beige, walnut, ivory, muted olive, stone gray and black ink. These colors are chosen because they can live beside books, ceramics, textiles and existing furniture without demanding a full redesign.
Design principles
From drawing to object
Proportion, material, surface finish and small details are reviewed before a piece becomes final.
Quality in details
Weight, touch, finish and stability are part of the design, even when they are not obvious in a photo.
More than decor
OUI pieces are meant to hold, divide, warm, soften and bring order to real rooms.
The OUI tone
A home does not need to be perfect to feel good. OUI prefers rooms with breathing space, natural materials, useful objects and a sense of personal order. The best piece is one that quietly makes daily life easier.
Brand direction: less visual noise, warmer surfaces, clearer routines and objects that feel at home after the first week.
