These original furnitures and accessories were born in 2000 of the desire to create and act intelligenvironmentally.

The US army Howitzer ammunition boxes from the Vietnam war era were made out of Red and White pine. Most were burned or buried over the decades. In salvaging and breathing new life into former materials of war for a new eco-design and peace-oriented functional piece of art, we create a significant gesture towards beauty, peace and environment. As witnesses to history, each individual box contains a little bit of the human soul.

" The future dwells within us without our knowing it."
-Marcel Proust

Here at the beginning of the third millenium, when the planet's being overexploited and polluted, the forests are being razed and the workers rights remain enormously threatened, we think it is time to break away from over-consumption, polluting and non-renewable products. It's time for peolple everywhere to make responsible manufacturing and consumer choices that respect the environment and life. We are happy to provide such an option.

The Boîtes de la paix are dedicated to life and its pleasures!
