About Theodorus File Box 파일 박스
테오도루스 파일 박스(Theodorus File Box)는 서류와 잡지를 보관하기 위해 디자인된 파일 박스입니다. 각 박스의 형태는 세 개를 나란히 배열했을 때 반원을 이루며, 내부에도 이미지가 인쇄되어 있습니다. 네 가지 디자인은 두 개의 시리즈로 나뉩니다. 우주 시리즈는 달과 지구를 모티프로 하고, 과일 시리즈는 수박과 오렌지를 모티프로 합니다. 우주라는 주제는 항공우주 산업에 종사하는 클라이언트의 업무를 반영한 것입니다. 각 박스는 골판지로 제작되었으며 양면에 인쇄된 종이가 부착되어 있습니다. 인쇄된 이미지는 실제 사진을 기반으로 하였습니다.

- Unique Properties
- These innovative file boxes are unlike any other. Their unique shape creates a semicircle when three boxes are lined up, and even the insides are printed with imagery. There are four designs split between two series. The space series, which represents the brand, features the moon and the earth, while the fruit series features a watermelon and an orange. The designs tie into our client's business in the aerospace industry. We also created a logo for the brand based on the moon in Starry Night, one of Van Gogh's masterpieces.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 270mm x Depth 102mm x Height 310mm

- Theodorus, File box, Magazine box, Moon, Earth, Globe, Watermelon, Orange
- Production Technology
- It is made of corrugated cardboard with printed paper stuck together on both sides.
- Design Challenge
- We wanted the boxes to look like the real thing, inside and out. Numerous minor adjustments to the shape and layout were required to achieve that. The images used are actual photographs. That includes the moon and the earth, which were rendered as 3D models from the flat photographs before use.
- Research
- According to our research, these are the first cardboard file boxes with printing on both sides, and the first that form a semicircle.
- Inspiration
- We developed the name "Theodorus" for the stationery brand of our client, who uses cutting-edge technology to manufacture aerospace components and other precision parts. Theodorus was the name of the younger brother of Vincent van Gogh, the most famous and influential painter in the history of Western art. Throughout his life, Vincent was emotionally and financially supported by his brother. There is no doubt that Theodorus held a position of great importance and intimacy to Vincent, as the moon holds to the earth. The role of this product evokes that relationship between Theodorus and Vincent. Sometimes, it supports a business from the shadows; other times, it plays a central part in adding flair to a room.
