A large, open clamshell forms a whimsical seat, crafted from a smooth, hard material with a pearlescent sheen. It shimmers with iridescent whites and subtle pinks, feeling cool and solid like nacre. Inside, a plush cushion of deep, ruby-red velvet lines the interior. This short-pile velvet feels soft and yields slightly, yet its vibrant, almost garish color and slight overstuffing create a striking visual dissonance against the elegant shell, reminiscent of a cheap jewelry box.
