Folds out from a flat sheet of chemical-milled stainless steel, just 150 microns thick. A feat of mini-engineering by UK product designer Sam Buxton, who must be tired of hearing puns about Mikro-Man’s flat starting out flat. 325 x 86mm (when flat). To promote his design skills, British product designer Sam Buxton used a process he discovered in the electronics industry to devise a stainless steel business card that could unfold into a 3-D replica of himself working at his computer. A manufacturer spotted it at a London design expo and now you can own one of nine Mikro-Man designs. Unfortunately, unless you meet Sam at a cocktail party, yo’l have to pay for yours. Worth arranging a trip to the UK, but far more affordable here. Chemical-milled stainless steel means precise but sharp and delicate edges, unsuitable for persons under 12.
