'leaf letter' series


japanese design studios neo-green and eding:post  have collaborated on 'leaf letter',
a series of postcards, stationary and envelopes in the shape of leaves.





in ancient japan, people used leaves as a tool in which to exchange their messages,
which is the origin of hagaki - the japanese postcard.
'leaf letter' takes this idea of writing on leaves and brings it into modern times.

with the spread of personal computers and mobile phones, we are beginning to seem further away from nature.
can sending a message on a leaf, reduce our distance between nature and one another,
by reviving the hand-written letter?

neo-green and eding:post have also developed a series of 'leaf letters' for printing
custom business cards, invitations, letters etc. as a means of still tapping into our
technological age, but with the sights and reminder of nature close by.

Love it when someone(s) incorporates real life organics into design styles. And to make it functional as well...nicely done!

I think the design becomes attractive in this product because it really reflects the real existing(at least it looks like) leaves and its shapes and sizes. Very cool.
