‘autobox’ by andrew haythornthwaite image by lucas hardonk
during a collaborative workshop organized by dutch furniture company arco, new zealand-born okay studio member andrew haythornthwaite created ‘autoboxes.’ taking mechanical cues from the children’s toy jack-in-the-box, this project explores structures that can expand and contract with an easy gesture.
the two resulting manifestations convert storage objects into display units by simply turning a handle, one expanding horizontally and the other vertically.
