humblebees The frame from every side, rendered from the production CAD.
The challenge
An old tablet still has a good screen. Propped on a stand with a cable hanging off it, though, it looks like an old tablet. It had to look like a picture frame from the front, stay powered all day, and keep its buttons within reach.
What we designed
- A frame, not a case. A rounded border and a white mat that sits tight around the display and covers the camera and home button.
- No cable in sight. The charging cable runs inside the frame and leaves underneath, behind the screen.
- Buttons that still work. Flush push-buttons in the frame’s edge press the iPad’s power and volume buttons.
- A back worth seeing. A patterned lattice lets the iPad breathe, and two legs lean the frame back on the shelf.
The result
- From the front there is only the picture and the frame: no holes, no cable, no buttons.
- The frame is larger than the printer, so it is made in sections that screw together into one piece.
