The project
Archicercle designed a box for an illustration by @nupc that could then become a picture frame. The project brings packaging and display together in a single object: the box holds the artwork and also provides a way to present it.
The starting point was to combine two compatible uses. Rather than treating the box and frame as separate objects, the design accommodates the transition from one function to the other within the same piece. Archicercle’s contribution centres on this dual-purpose product; the illustration is credited to @nupc.
A rectangular opening frames the illustration. The brown surface contrasts with the black-and-white artwork, while a rear support allows the piece to stand at an angle on a flat surface. This arrangement gives it its second function as a tabletop picture frame.
