This miniature box recreates three intimate spaces—a cozy kitchen, a functional office, and a welcoming living room—entirely from cardboard. Designed by Abhishek of Crafted Small, the build combines structural craft with emotional realism by incorporating actual photographs of the person who inhabits these rooms.
Each section is carefully constructed with layered cardboard walls, miniature furniture, and printed textures to reflect real-life layouts. The kitchen features tiny cabinets, utensils, and a stove; the office includes a desk, chair, and laptop mockup; and the living room showcases a sofa, TV, and décor elements. Real photos are framed or placed within the rooms to add warmth and authenticity, turning this build into a deeply personal diorama.
