curious box

The Curious box was designed after observing Victorian writing desks and Curiosity boxes used to collect objects during the same era. This theme later developed into the idea that the box itself could become the object of curiosity.

The outcome of the project was the curiosity box, a small desktop container that retained some of the proportions and details of the writing desks whilst creating smaller spaces within to store the collections on today's desks; paper and letters. One of the boxes was produced in Oak as showpiece for the timeframe show.
