Some overview shots of double and triple slipcases with seperate lids from a couple of recent projects.

To me, boxes have an aesthetics of their own, as objects in their own right, without their intended contents. Something like a beautiful vase without any flowers, or a bracelet that is not being worn.

A set of presentation boxes for Amsterdam-based photographer Rogier Houwen.

They are made to hold a series of prints from his project Cosmos. Rogier has chosen the 'box in a box' type, in keeping with some of his earlier work that was presented in a frame within a frame (📷 8-9).

Both boxes are covered and lined in Grége Toile du Marais from Winter & Co, with the titles hot foil printed in white.
