"I'm a great lover of architecture and the geometry of this collection has a classic aesthetic but with a touch of the contemporary," said Mad Lab founder and designer Antonio Serrano.
"Wood as a raw material is fascinating, it exists in silence and brings warmth," he explained. "This collection is made in maple and ebony wood because it creates a delightful contrast in tones."

All seven items in the collection resemble miniature versions of buildings that might populate the Ideal City.

The wooden jars feature faceted bodies and geometric lids with gold spires. The bottom of the jars have arched cutouts, while the insides are coated with Canadian cedar wood, which is described by Serrano as "highly aromatic".
