About TOYO

TOYO Steel is a Japanese brand from Osaka that has been producing high-quality steel toolboxes and storage boxes since 1969. Known for their minimalist design and "Made in Japan" quality, the boxes are crafted from a single piece of steel – seamless, robust, and durable. Originally developed for professionals, TOYO boxes are now also popular as design objects for the home and office. We use them as reusable gift boxes that continue to bring joy long after the gift has been opened.

Why we love TOYO:

Because function, aesthetics and durability come together perfectly here – and packaging becomes an object for life.

At lovapres, we select objects that don't just accompany a moment, but become a long-term part of everyday life. TOYO Steel perfectly embodies this philosophy: functional design that lasts – as a gift, storage solution, and personal companion.

TOYO in everyday life

The TOYO Steel Tool Box is far more than a classic toolbox. Its timeless design and robust construction make it a versatile storage box for everyday use at home, in the office, and for creative projects.

Whether used as a stylish gift box, storage for personal items, sewing and craft supplies, writing utensils, or for small everyday rituals – the Japanese steel box adapts effortlessly to different areas of life. Its clean lines blend seamlessly into both modern and classic living spaces.

Many people appreciate TOYO boxes not only for their functionality, but also as durable design objects that create order while remaining visible. In this way, a simple storage solution becomes a personal companion in everyday life.

Manufacturing & Quality

Since 1969, TOYO Steel has been manufacturing its toolboxes in Osaka, Japan. TOYO was the first company in the world to develop a deep-drawing process that creates a seamless steel box from a single piece of metal. This unique construction makes the boxes simultaneously strong, lightweight, and exceptionally durable.

Each TOYO Steel Box represents precise Japanese craftsmanship and a quality designed for many years of use. The carefully selected materials develop a beautiful patina over time, underscoring the timeless character of the boxes.

Awards such as the Good Design Award and the Long Life Design Award confirm TOYO Steel's commitment to creating functional products that last for generations.

Why a TOYO Box?

A TOYO Steel Tool Box is more than just a storage solution. It combines Japanese craftsmanship, functional design, and durable materials into an object that can be used for many years. Instead of short-lived packaging, it creates a box that lasts – as an everyday companion, a keepsake, or a reusable gift box.

With its timeless design, the TOYO Box blends seamlessly into a wide variety of living spaces and demonstrates that practical objects can be both beautiful and sustainable.
