Nuno Da Costa Illustrated the front cover for Vogue and he wanted a portfolio to showcase his work, but also a box to keep the magazine in as well as the portfolio.

Actually it consists of 3 elements. The box holds a screw post portfolio within a slipcase. This sits on top of a recessed space into which sits the edition of the magazine.

Everything (Nuno's creative life you like) is housed within the box. Nuno can choose to take just the portfolio housed within the slip case, to meetings, or he can take the whole thing - Either way it'll start the whole thing off with quite an entrance and introduction! 

The outer and inner cover material that Nuno choose was Beige Buckram. Buckram is always a wise choice for portfolios as it has an acrylic coating and can be easily wiped clean. The portfolio book was a Hidden Screw Post Portfolio and the presentation box a Clamshell Box. He also ordered a custom made Slipcase.
