From the cabinet of curiosities to box art: Staging the quirky and the everyday is in vogue. 3-D collage, miniature installations, collector's boxes, and cabinets of rarities. With many instructions and inspirations for creating your own boxes, along with a gallery section featuring contemporary artists. Marlis Maehrle encourages collecting and arranging personal finds in her instructional book. The techniques and design patterns presented here can be implemented in your existing box formats—be it a cigar box, a candy tin, or a packaging box. The journey of discovery ranges from simple examples of arrangement, division, and attachment to designs featuring sophisticated paper structures, culminating in the construction of your own boxes. For further inspiration, a comprehensive gallery showcases a variety of works after the instructional section.
