Carlos Bauer — Curitiba, Brazil

“We will only print what matters and makes sense to be printed. And therefore makes these objects special and not banal. I think of the physical business card as part of a face-to-face experience and a memory of that encounter. It can help to make a stand, capture attention, keep in mind, captivate, convince, or just be ignored and thrown away.”
