I decided to make some novelty business cards that pop out to create a miniature version of the light. I also chose to laser cut some packaging and etch some information onto it. I chose to keep it plain and simple with space for the product to be fixed in a flat pack format. I wanted to mimic the packaging you find at shops like Ikea where you take home your purchase and build it. DIY can give a sense of satisfaction, and I wanted to give this value to my artwork. I have created something you can build yourself at home.
