Natalia Romero Design - Palo Santo Box (Small)

These beautiful containers, carved from aromatic palo santo wood, bring the essence of Wichí craftsmanship into your home. Made by Wichí artisans in northern Argentina, each piece is shaped by hand using time-honored techniques, adapted to create contemporary designs. The natural grain and rich patina of the palo santo wood make every container unique, with subtle variations that showcase the wood’s character and the artisan’s skill. Ideal for storing small treasures, these containers combine functionality with artistry, adding a soulful, organic accent to any space.

Palo Santo is one of the great treasures of the South American forest. Due to its intense aroma, it was considered sacred by ancient cultures. For the last century, Wichi men have gathered only fallen branches and trees to create aromatic, rustic and smooth hand-carved pieces, that come to us in very small batches.
