A long time ago at my first Silicon Valley job, I noticed a teeny tiny Soma cube on a co-worker’s desk. He had constructed it out of business cards. Having noticed my appreciation for this little crafty inspiration, he gifted it to me when he left the company. Since that time I’ve accumulated 8 boxes of business cards. I keep them thinking I’ll turn them into a craft project one day. In the meantime they’re slowly becoming notecards and bookmarks as I haven’t had a fantastic idea. There’s plenty of business card origami plans on the web (I’m not going to make an exhaustive list here). Ned Batchelder posted cube instructions, which can be the building blocks for larger projects. Here’s a flickr set of business card origami (no instructions) which includes a Soma cube. And there’s Core 77’s Business Card Hacks design challenge which triggered my remembrances for this post.
