Moorish is More

With its Moorish motif, this Italian box by Bitossi looks like it might have been plucked straight from "Shangri La', the Hawaiian estate of Doris Duke. This graphic look is an enduring design and has been making a real splash as of late. The colors are a shock of chartreuse and an almost purple blue.
