Functional Mini Arcade Business Card Holder
Love Hulten doesn't have too much to say about his functional mini arcade business card holder, but in this case, check out the video - I think joystick and button actions speak louder than words.
As retro as business cards themselves, the holder's 60s-style bright yellow cover, bulbous controllers, and arcade electronics are built into a slim wood case with a top slot for holding what looks to be only about 10 to 15 cards. No matter though, anyone who sees the gadget in your office will probably forget all about wanting to remember your name and title once they see what someone with your name and title has on their desk anyway. Oooh, does this thing have Pac-Man too?
While Love Hulten does periodically release some of his nostalgic gaming designs to the public (see R-KAID-R) the business card arcade appears to be a one-off creation. At least for now.
Muchas danke to The Awesomer.
