The project
The outline of a gingerbread man becomes a container with two separate internal spaces. Archicercle undertook the complete design and fabrication, combining MDF pieces with clear acrylic to keep the contents visible.
The design began with a specific functional idea: to hold objects in two compartments within the figure. A central MDF piece separates the two spaces, making the internal layout part of the gingerbread man's construction.
The body was made from MDF pieces of different shapes and thicknesses, laser-cut and assembled by hand. Layering these pieces creates the hollow body of the container while retaining its recognisable outline.
The gingerbread shape was also cut from clear acrylic. This piece allows the contents to be seen and completes an object for which the studio carried out the component design, cutting and assembly.
