The Ball Library is a tissue case in powder-coated steel: a colored outer shell, a drawer that pulls out in a contrasting color, and a small ball for a knob. The knob is a powder-coated aluminum ball rather than the wooden bead these usually get, which is what lets its color read glossy and even instead of muddy. Woody:D welds and coats each piece to order in Korea.
The drawer slides out to hold a refill sleeve of tissues, then pushes back so sheets feed up through the slot on top. It fits standard refill tissue and measures 250 by 120 by 80 mm. The ball ships separately with its bolt, so you screw it on before first use. Wipe the metal with a dry or barely damp cloth. Each colorway is listed as body / drawer / ball.
Because every case is welded and powder-coated to order, small process marks come with the object rather than counting as flaws: assembly holes for the ball and bolt, faint bubbles or bare spots along a welded seam, an unpainted edge in a tight corner, and a little play between body and drawer. On a hand-finished metal object these read as making marks, not defects.
