The blue is the right blue
I have been to Santorini and I was ready to be annoyed by a lazy postcard blue. This is closer to the real thing, a deeper Cycladic tone against proper white. It sits on the coffee table hiding two remotes and a charging cable.
Faux Book Box, Greece
- Passes as a real hardback. Coffee-table-book scale, not a novelty box.
- Remotes, keys, cables — gone. They live inside instead of across the table.
- Doubles as a surface. Rigid enough for a small vase or a candle on top.
Mix colours however you like — the set price stays the same.

Description+
A hollow card box in Cycladic blue and white, hiding remotes and keys behind a magnetic flap.
Blue-and-white cover art in the Cycladic register, wrapped around a box that opens on a magnet and holds whatever you would rather not look at. The interior takes remotes, keys, a phone charger or a small stash of stationery. Outside it reads as a 26.7 × 17.5 × 4.2 cm hardback, and the card is rigid enough to sit under a vase without bowing.
Ten prints run from Athens Riviera and Athens Culture through Mykonos and Santorini. One box per order, in the print you choose, so you can start with a single spine or collect a matched row over time. Card dislikes damp: keep it off a windowsill that catches condensation, and support the base when you move it full.
Each cover is printed on card in separate runs, so ink density can vary a shade between boxes, and screens render those colours differently again. Two boxes of the same print set side by side may not match perfectly.

Why the Faux Book Box, Greece
The cover lifts on a magnet and the inside is hollow. Remotes, keys, charging cables and the small things that migrate around a living room all go in, out of sight but still within arm's reach of the sofa.
26.7 × 17.5 × 4.2 cm are the proportions of a real coffee table book, so it sits in a stack without announcing itself as a container. The card walls hold firm under a small vase.
Every edition carries several cover prints and you choose the one you want. Collect two or three across editions and the spines line up into a run that looks curated rather than bought in one go.

Bought three and they read as a shelf
Athens Riviera, Mykonos Muse and Greek Islands, stacked on the console. From the sofa they look like travel books. The magnetic flaps hold firm enough that they do not gape when you pick the stack up, which was my worry.
Print quality varies a little between covers
Mykonos Summer came out slightly softer in the detail than Santorini Island did, which you only notice with the two side by side. Both look good on the shelf. It is card at a card price and I knew that going in. Four stars for the inconsistency, not the idea.
Frequently asked questions
How many boxes do I get?+
One. The price is for a single box in whichever cover print you select from the dropdown. The photos show the full range of prints available in that edition, not the contents of one order.
Is it a real book?+
No. There are no pages. It's a hollow box made of thick card, printed to look like a hardback travel or art title, with a magnetic flap where the pages would be.
Can I stack things on top?+
A small vase, a candle or another box or two, yes. The card is rigid and the walls hold. Don't use it as a stool or a step, and lift it from the base rather than the spine once there's weight inside.
How do I clean it?+
Wipe the cover with a dry or barely damp cloth. It's card, so keep it away from standing water and don't use spray cleaner on it.
Do the editions match each other?+
They're all the same size and finish, so they stack cleanly together. The palettes differ: Greece and Artsy sit cooler and quieter, Spain and Mexico run brighter, Italy and France land in between.
