Plywood Laboratory Apple Card Holder

Wooden desk accessory and decorative ornament

It's the simple things that can make a design special. Familiar shapes and plain colors seen from a different angle can give birth to unique creations that spice up our everyday surroundings and breathe new life into mundane tasks that we do mechanically, making us more mindful of our actions. The Plywood Laboratory Apple Card Holder is a fine example of such inspired design combined with some top-level craftsmanship that revolutionizes one of those simple tasks you never even think about: putting your business cards in order!

The simple shape here is an apple but created with three parts made of a special material its designers at the Plywood Laboratory call paper-wood, a type of plywood made of wood and recycled paper. The three parts are all threaded through a thin vertical rod and when you want to put in a new card, you just stick it in the slots in between. Just 0.2 x 10.2 x 10.5 cm (0.8 x 4 x 4.1") and available in two color combinations (red and orange or blue and green), the Plywood Laboratory Apple Card Holder transforms the way your desk looks and feels.
