Cute and Expensive PopUp Card

This elaborate pop-up design depicts the Cahndelier Creative office and staff. Founder and creative director Richard Christiansen is seen hanging from a chandelier in the center card while some of his inspirations used in client work such as Joan Collins (Dynasty Barbie, Mattel), and the cast of Glee (Glee accessory collection, Claire’s) make cameo appearances. The card also serves as a promotional piece. Recipients can remove the die-cut moon from the illustrated skyline and view a portfolio of current work from 2010.

Other highlights include:
- Pull tabs that open doors to reveal other characters
- Multiple printing techniques and materials such as metallic foil and die cuts
- Card is contained in a neon pink cake box with interior spot-varnished filigree pattern

BEANBAG STOOLS FILLED WITH RECYCLED BOTTLE CAPS

Ever think about where all those plastic bottle caps end up when you’re done with your bottled drink? Usually, it’s the landfill. Thankfully there are design studios like the Hong Kong-based KaCaMa Design Lab that specialize in reusing post-consumer waste materials for really cool projects like the PP Capsule stools. PP Capsule makes use of all those plastic caps by upcycling 4,000 caps and using them as the fill for one stool.

Using eco-friendly fabrics, local seamstresses sew the geometric pattern shell that’s much like the idea of a beanbag chair. They are then filled with the recycled material. It’s not only a practical way to stuff the stools, the material is like super colorful confetti that you can see through the fabric.
