IMAGES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE DESIGNER

Unfortunately I don't have more information about this piece, but I had the opportunity to see it at the Type Directors Club traveling exhibit and in a table replete of cool stuff this one stood out. The Trade Gothic routered in the bamboo wood was simply too juicy and the rubber band gave it a nice construction feel. The subtly laser-cut cards that can be joined together looked very mechanical and contemporary. The overall package was definitely impressive and poised to attract high-end costumers which I imagine are the target audience.

Very cool.

I love the way this brochure becomes interactive and it looks like you could build a range of different structures with the cards. How fun! Great idea and nice execution. The cover rocks!
