Conceptual packaging with Espirelius

The project

Archicercle collaborated with graphic design studio Espirelius on packaging that brings together remembrance and documentation. The case holds materials from an exhibition designed by Espirelius, while its form references the days Cesáreo Fernández Álvarez spent in prison for his struggle against the dictatorship.

The concept takes shape through a wooden frame with slots into which rubber bands are inserted. Together, the frame and bands symbolise that period of imprisonment. The packaging therefore does more than hold the documentation: its configuration forms part of the exhibition’s narrative.

The set includes a fold-out leaflet summarising the exhibition and a CD containing its full documentation. When unfolded, the leaflet also serves as the exhibition poster. A single graphic piece thus combines two formats for reading and sharing the exhibition’s content, alongside the digital media held in the case.
