Postal Blocks

📫 on a whim (*not an officially sanctioned, airbnb project*), I created a reusable (but destination locked), 3d printed envelope with the address embossed on the exterior. the interior postcard holds the keepsake ALONG WITH A short message of laser cut felt.

Problem

how could i send a few 3d printed keepsakes through the mail in an interesting way?

Metaphor

postcards. by concentrating on an established delivery method, I was able to spend some time to make it playful, unique, and engaging.
