Bandbox (section)
c. 1939
Imagine storing your finest hats in a box decorated with ancient mythology! This 1939 design by David Dorfman transforms a simple cylindrical container into a dramatic classical scene. A charioteer with flowing ribbons rides a chariot pulled by a majestic winged griffin across a deep blue landscape, framed by stylized trees. The vertical seam down the center hints at how this pattern would wrap around the box, bringing a touch of mythological grandeur to everyday storage.
