Clamshell Box Meets Bento Box

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

I had the pleasure of making an exciting box recently for a friend of mine, Matt Aaron Templeton. He had a series of small drawings that he wanted to display in an interesting box.  Although he gave me some ideas and pointed me in the direction of a bento-style box, he also let me be creative with the project.  The solution I landed on was a box that closes like a clamshell, but has divided trays that all meet at a central point, allowing for easy removal of the drawings.  I am really happy with the result:
