If you squint, Del Degan’s new business card almost resembles a bar of soap or a keycard, drawing attention to the nature of the card as an object, rather than a simple scrap of 2D information. Don’t drop it in the shower though.
As an industrial designer looking for a business card and identity, materiality and objects were of the highest importance for Matthew. In order to speak immediately to the fact that at its core, what he does is make things, we opted to skip the ink and make the card itself the object by simply blind embossing the details on a beautiful, thick stock.
