The project
Archicercle designed and made this gingerbread-man-shaped container. The project turns a recognisable outline into an object with two separate internal spaces and a transparent piece that keeps the contents visible.
The design was developed entirely in the studio, starting from the idea of holding objects in two compartments. A central MDF piece separates the two spaces and forms part of the figure’s construction.
The volume was built from MDF pieces in different shapes and thicknesses, which were laser-cut and assembled by hand. The construction brings together the individual parts of the outline to complete the 30 cm container.
The studio also cut the outline in clear acrylic. This piece provides a view inside, leaving the contents of the compartments visible and introducing transparency to the MDF construction.
