Bill presentation box for Indian Garden

The project

For Indian Garden restaurant, we developed branded boxes for presenting the bill. The project brought together box design and prototyping, with a contrasting interior, magnetic closure and a personalised lid.

The box was formed in birch using kerfing: a sequence of small, carefully arranged cuts that allow the wood to bend. This construction detail remains visible along the edges and follows the rounded geometry of the piece.

Inside, a stained plywood structure contrasts with the outer wood. The development therefore combines a shaped outer shell with a distinct internal structure.

We used neodymium magnets for the closure, recessing the surface to house them within the box. This addressed both their visual integration and the way the parts meet.

For the lid, we designed a geometric elephant inspired by Indian culture and engraved it using a galvanometer laser system. Alongside the Indian Garden name, the motif identifies the box and completes the prototype development.

The kerf cuts allow the wood to bend and become part of the visual character of the edges.

Stained plywood inside and recessed magnets provide the contrast and closure.
