Having explored the things we treasure and value, it would seem, when the chips are down, family and friends, in fact the people we love, are what really matter to us. I wanted to take the everyday and make it spectacular. To take something unremarkable and invite the user to take part in a simple action ‘to unfold’, evoking joy from the unexpected, to be surprised by the mundane and celebrating the ordinary.  Using the pop up book as my platform I have transformed the unassuming cardboard box into its own landscape, transporting you instantly to a familiar yet surprising setting: The Pop-Up Picnic. Simple pleasures that make you smile.
