„It was the biggest challenge, find the right dimensions of the packaging to match the frame of the picture frame. Millimetres mattered there. Through a lot of testing, we were finally able to solve this. Furthermore, the glass pane of the picture frame was unprotected at the start of the project, but we were able to solve this by an inlay made of thin cardboard, which is placed between the frame and the glass pane.“ Farina Nagel
