Procop is one of Europe's leading distributors of art and commercial papers, with a presence throughout the continent. The Cube is their main color swatch book, a standard reference for printers and graphic designers.

The existing product combined all the color swatch sets into a single block weighing one to two kilos—difficult to handle and not very user-friendly. The challenge for vrai studio to redesign it as a desirable, modular object, designed for real-world use. The project falls under the category of product design: it involved considering the user experience, structure, content presentation, functionality, and user experience. The goal was not simply to create a beautiful object. It was to create an object that works—and that is beautiful precisely because it works. The photographic direction accompanies the launch of the redesigned color chart.
