  • Launch documentation
The case exposes the fanzine instead of hiding it completely.
The 3D model translates beehive, opening, and protection into a printable form.
3D printing turns the packaging into a physical object with real tolerances.
The publication also lives in the moment of launch and exchange.
The hive texture is not only a pattern: it builds the relationship between solid, void, and image.
