The project
BOOKBOX is a box project developed by Archicercle for @saragurrea. The work covered design, prototyping, laser cutting and assembly, as well as customising the lid through engraving with a galvanometer laser system.
The structural design focused on the parts that form the box and the connections between them. Each component was designed with interlocking features to fit the others, translating the geometry of the individual parts into the assembled prototype.
The parts were laser-cut from 3 mm clear acrylic and assembled using these interlocking connections. The transparency keeps both the contents and the joints visible: the structure becomes part of the box’s appearance rather than being concealed.
The work was completed by engraving the lid with a galvanometer laser system. The inscription ‘SARAGURREA’ identifies the piece without adding an opaque element over the assembly. The documented outcome consists of prototypes rather than a production run.
The interlocking connections determine how the acrylic parts meet and fit together.
