A substantial, softly irregular frame gives a small image a physical boundary. The surrounding mineral surface becomes part of the act of looking.
Proposed dimensionsApprox. 15 W x 5 D x 19 H cm overall
An object in development. Product and packaging images illustrate the intended direction; final pieces may differ. Not available to order.
01 / The idea behind the object
A frame does more than mark the edge of an image: it affects the way that image is encountered. Here the substantial mineral border becomes part of that encounter. An irregular corner and a small line keep the perimeter active while leaving the centre comparatively quiet. The object is proposed as a setting for a small personal image, not a substitute for it.
02 / Form & material
Design targets, not measurements of finished stock. Dimensions, weight, materials, contents and packaging will be confirmed after physical trials. W = width, D = depth, H = height. Irregular forms are described by their approximate overall dimensions.
03 / Inside the box
A common kraft outer language. Interior support shaped around the needs of this object.
One frame assembly; care card. Artwork insert and glazing specification to be confirmed.
One stock carton, protective packing and a care card are planned. Final accessories and assembly instructions, where applicable, will be specified before release.
Protect the front with a rigid corrugated face board, isolate the back support and add edge pads. The final glazing choice will determine whether an additional transit carton is needed.
This is a packing plan, not a validated transit specification.
Shared stock cartons and a single-colour label keep the packaging language consistent without a dedicated luxury box for every form. Smooth surface wrap comes first; folded corrugated pads, dividers and paper cushioning are added where needed.
Heavy or glazed pieces may need a reinforced or double-boxed transit pack. The final choice depends on packed weight and handling trials, not appearance alone.
04 / Living with the object
Care directions and performance limits remain provisional until material and prototype testing are complete.
For a freestanding small image on a level shelf. Aperture, insert size and loading method will be confirmed with prototypes. Rear support, anti-tip stability and glazing retention need testing. The pictured insert is illustrative; inclusion is not confirmed.
Until the final finish is established, the intended care direction is dry indoor use and gentle dusting with a soft, clean cloth. Lift from the base rather than sliding. Avoid soaking, dishwashers, solvents, abrasive cleaners, prolonged moisture and direct heat. Final product-specific care instructions will accompany any release.
The proposed route begins with a drawing, moves through a three-dimensional model and a printed master, then into a hand-prepared silicone mould. Casting, curing, finishing and physical trials follow. The exact binder, pigment system, sealer and any separate hardware will be selected before the object is offered for sale.
Prototype checks will cover dimensions, flatness or balance, weak edges, contact surfaces and the suitability of the intended function. Packaging trials must check movement inside the carton, surface rubbing and impact protection. Neither the concept images nor the stated price establish tested durability, waterproofing or product certification.
The displayed ₩79,000 is an indicative KRW price, not a checkout offer. Final pricing, delivery charges, lead times and applicable purchase terms will be published before orders open. No payment or reservation is accepted on this page.
