Branded boxes for LA NEGRI

The project

For the restaurant LA NEGRI, we designed and manufactured a set of rounded branded boxes. The project brought together the development of the boxes, their black finish and the addition of the restaurant’s name to the lids.

The birch wood was shaped using kerfing: a series of small, carefully positioned cuts that allows the wood to bend. This technique is part of the box’s construction and enables its curved form.

We painted the entire box black to reflect the restaurant’s visual identity. The colour unifies the interior and exterior, while the LA NEGRI name identifies the lid.

For the closure, we used neodymium magnets. We recessed the surface to inset them, incorporating their housings into the box itself for a neat appearance.

The final step was to engrave the restaurant’s name on the lids with our galvanometer laser system. The studio’s work therefore covered the design and manufacture of the boxes, as well as painting, fitting the magnets and the final engraving.
