a business card concept by richard c. evans for furniture store bentply

 

 

british creative richard c. evans has conceived a novel business card for bentply - a central london shop specializing in vintage, modernist furniture.
the card is perforated in a particular way where, when manipulated, the 2D card transforms into a mini 3D armchair - referencing the shop's namesake and goods.
the design is letterpress printed by elegante press on three layers of card for durability and stability.

  • I think it’s worth mentioning that the chair design is by Gerald Summers in the early XX century

  • It does say : “based on the 1934 plywood armchair designed by gerald summers” at the bottom of the card

  • nicolene i tip my hat to your sharp eye. Are you looking for a job? Meantime i like the card and think it can be improved by making full-sized furniture this way. Imagine the ease of manufacturing and logistics. I have seen these designs before and think they are all good ideas.
