The Circuit Board Box

Someone donated a large collection of vintage computer hardware to the local makerspace. The artist spied a pile of dead circuit boards and asked if she could salvage a few. There are many more boards waiting to become additional boxes, art panels, or sculptures.

Every board is unique, therefore every box is different. This one says “Copyrighted 1979 by Motorola, Inc.” She welcomes old boards with sentimental value: a dead laptop, a circuit from a parent's old equipment, etc. Most can be incorporated into something you'll keep forever. Old scrap is turned into new functional art.

Commission a box

Reclaimed Lotus makes boxes to order in a range of sizes and glass colors. Have a circuit board, vintage tile, or other flat reclaimed material? She'd love to incorporate it into a lid.
