CARton
From a fascination for vintage toys the series ArcheToys was born in 2005.
A range of iconic model vehicles singularly constructed from industrial steel profiles.
But could that minimalistic, universally recognized outline also be realized using other materials?
The answer came in CARton, a fusion of die-cut cardboard parts on a wooden frame.
In fact a schematic two dimensional image represented in ‘2 ½D, or rather a cartoon in 3D.
In contrast with traditional toy cars, the bodywork is left blank.
Children can use their own imagination to paint and/or decorate the car.
The CARton01 model is a station wagon, remove the rear end and you have a sedan.
The series is industrially handmade at the in-house workshop.
