| Notes: | The Domus Briefcase - advertising leaflet. 'The coconut is considered to be the Tree of Life in many tropical countries. It not only provides food, drink and fuel, but also shade for people and animals, protection for the soil, and beauty for beaches. T, he briefcase is made of thin coconut wood panels, highly polished to a smooth waxed finish. The interior is lined with hand-crafted Italian leather and the fittings are specially designed and produced for Domus by a leading Italian manufacturer. The han, dle is reinforced with a double strip of brass and a layer of ebony. The coconut wood has been totally saturated with epoxy 'wet system' resin. If it loses some of its shine, just rub in some furniture wax to make it look new again.x0Dx0ADomus woodworks Ltd, . Pugu Road, PO Box 6724, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania | ||||
