Today, we are surrounded by countless digital images that come and go, often leaving our most cherished memories forgotten. With the Best Moments photo album, Izabela Jurczyk aims to bring back the joy of printing and describing our photos, creating a tangible keepsake that stops time. The album exudes a vintage and elegant atmosphere, adding a touch of sophistication to your cherished memories.
What sets the Best Moments photo album apart is its unique design and craftsmanship. Commissioned by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as a showcase of Polish design on the international stage, this album is a true work of art. It features a combination of hand-made paper that resembles the texture of skin, adorned with beautiful copper gilding. The album consists of two parts: a longer album section with spaces to insert photos and write descriptions, and an external short case that serves as a protective cover. The two parts are connected and secured by an elastic string, ensuring the safety of your precious memories.
The Best Moments photo album is not only visually stunning but also environmentally conscious. It is made using ecological paper inspired by the fashion sector, which contains up to 25% of skin debris, replacing traditional cellulose fibers. The visible remains of the skin on the surface of the paper give it a unique look and a pleasant, soft texture, while still maintaining exceptional strength. The casing of the album is refined with hot stamping using copper foil, and the hand-made cover is secured with gold screws, adding a luxurious touch to the overall design.
Measuring at 230mm x 128mm x 16mm, the Best Moments photo album is the perfect size to hold your most treasured memories. Its raw materials, refined details, and elegant vintage style make it a beautiful and functional piece that will be cherished for years to come.
Designed by Izabela Jurczyk of Studio Design, the Best Moments photo album is a unique photo-diary that allows you to store your important photos and jot down contact entries for the people close to you. It is a true testament to the power of design in preserving our memories and creating meaningful connections.
The Best Moments photo album project began in October 2019 and was completed in December 2019 in Lodz, Poland. The copyrights for this design belong to Studio Design, and it has been recognized with the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in 2020. This award is a testament to the album's well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, meeting professional and industrial requirements while providing fulfillment and positive emotions.
