- Unique Properties
- A unique polaroid photo album. It was commissioned by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as a showcase of Polish design in international contacts. It is characterized by a unique hand-made, a combination of paper referring to the skin with beautiful copper gilding.

The whole connects and protects the elastic string.
- Inspiration
- The project was inspired by the desire to combine the traditional form of photo album with the diary function. In today's world, we are surrounded by a lot of images that pass, we take thousands of photos, but we almost never print and describe them, we do not save important moments for us, this album is a form of stopping time. It has a vintage, elegant atmosphere.
- Realization and Technology

Remains of the skin visible on the surface of the paper give it a unique look, make the paper pleasant and soft to the touch and retains exceptional strength. The casing has been refined with hot stamping with copper foil, the hand made cover is based on gold screws and gives the whole a luxurious character.
