Memories Binding: a keepsake photo album with MDF covers

The project

Memories Binding brings together old photographs in an album conceived as a gift for a loved one. At Archicercle, we handled the concept, design, interior layout and binding, as well as laser cutting and engraving the MDF covers.

The work covered both the interior content and its presentation as a book. The page layout arranged the photographs, while the cover design incorporated a personal message. The inside and outside were therefore developed as parts of the same commission, focused on bringing photographic memories together.

The covers were made from MDF, using laser cutting and engraving. The engraved message placed the dedication on the cover itself, making personalisation part of the object as well as its contents.

Binding completed the album. White pages and orange and yellow details along the edges contrast with the brown covers: a combination that accompanies the photographs without adding further elements to their story.
