The inaugural collection will feature bespoke keepsake boxes, each interpreting a specific emotion or state through a unique construction and visual language. These pieces will retain their practical function, merging artistic expression with everyday use. The brand can later evolve beyond this first collection, exploring new ways to embody human experience in functional objects.

| Problem |

We keep things not just for their practical or material value. Jewelry, letters, photographs, and small keepsakes are often tied to personal stories, feelings, and memories that one wishes to preserve, but not always wants to share with others.

However, the traditional keepsake box primarily serves a utilitarian function—it protects and organizes its contents. While its design can be aesthetically expressive, the emotional significance of what is kept rarely forms the foundation of the object itself: its form, internal structure, or method of opening.

| Idea |

Create a brand of design objects in which feelings and experiences take material form, and the habitual storage of personal items transforms into a meaningful ritual.

At the core of the brand is the creation of functional objects in which emotional meaning is expressed not only through external appearance but also through construction, materials, and method of interaction.

Each object becomes an interpretation of a particular feeling or inner state. It is embodied in form, texture, internal structure, and the mechanics of opening. Thus, a familiar action—opening a casket, hiding, or retrieving an item—gains an additional symbolic meaning.

However, these objects do not impose a specific interpretation on the individual. Each person can imbue them with their own content, linking them to personal memories and experiences.

| First Collection of Designer Keepsake Boxes |

Development of a series of bespoke keepsake boxes, each embodying a specific emotion or internal state through unique form, materials, texture, and opening mechanism. The project involves visual research, conceptual sketching, structural design, material selection, 3D modeling, and prototype fabrication.
