Letterbox Logic
Standard Shipping is a collection of cleverly designed objects - all of which fit through a standard letterbox slot. At first glance, it’s a playful constraint. But look closer, and it opens up bigger questions. What changes when a product is designed to arrive without anyone needing to be home? What happens to form, function, packaging, and our idea of what “good design” can look like?
A Shift in Perspective
The exhibition asks both designers and visitors to reconsider the journey behind the things we buy. We’re used to thinking about where materials come from and how products are made. But what about the part in between - the van, the box, the doorstep? As online shopping becomes second nature, it’s worth pausing to ask: how might design respond to the realities of delivery?
Fit for Delivery
Every object here fits within the dimensions of a PostNL letterbox parcel (38 × 26.5 × 3.2 cm, under 2 kg). That means no missed deliveries, no oversized boxes, and fewer unnecessary trips. By showing what can be made within these limits, the exhibition offers a fresh look at how design and delivery can work together — on a smaller, smarter scale.
