Adam Rung Boxes

How to keep something close to your heart?

Hint: You shouldn’t walk around clutching it to your breast 24/7.

For a safer (and less tiring) option, turn to Adam Rung.

The Port Richmond-based furniture maker handcrafts keepsake boxes that are as unique as the objects you’ll put inside.

Made from domestic hardwoods like cherry, walnut, oak, figured maples, and a variety of reclaimed woods, all the boxes have decorative handles and feet (made from things like small gears or delicate car parts) and come with removable interior trays. Rung will also offer custom boxes if you have your own idea in mind.

Not only will they protect your possessions, but they’ll spiff up any room you put them in.

Think of it as taking things up a Rung.

Available at Adam Rung Woodworks, 3211 Cedar Street (215-681-3354 or adamrung.com).
