More Modern Mailboxes


A while ago I wrote something about mailboxes. Rag-tag, inherently ugly North American-style mail boxes are one of those daily encounters I find so vexing (get a life, right?). Occasionally there are some which have received a makeover by a creative postal customer, or created from scratch from  architectural material originally meant for another purpose, but for the most part they remain woefully under-designed.

Swissmiss posted a link today to a Swiss creative agency with some dandy offerings. I wish they'd catch on here! Atelier 522 can be found here – lots of interesting things to see on their site. – GF

    This was such a fun and refreshing post! It's amazing how something as seemingly mundane as a mailbox can become a canvas for creativity and personal expression. I really enjoyed the variety of styles you highlighted—each one reflecting a unique architectural language while also serving a simple, practical purpose. Your keen eye for design makes even the smallest details stand out, and it’s clear that you value the way these everyday elements contribute to the overall character of a home. It’s these thoughtful touches that elevate a space and make it memorable. For anyone inspired to take their exterior details to the next level—or even reimagine their whole entryway—R for Remodelers would be a fantastic resource. Their ability to blend functionality with beautiful, intentional design makes them ideal for projects big and small. Thanks for the dose of design delight!
