Heatherwick’s Crafty Christmas Card

Rejoice! The Thomas Heatherwick Christmas card has arrived! This Heatherwick tradition has three simple rules – the stamp that plays a central part in the design, an unusual production technique and the involvement of the Mount Pleasant sorting office. The result is that rare thing – the Christmas card that never gets thrown away.

And this year’s card is no exception, the stamp is the star atop a Christmas tree that looks as though it has been drawn in the snow with the stamps own perforations, revealing shiny metallic green. The stamp is cancelled with a gold frank that becomes part of the design and the whole thing is shipped in a glossy see-through envelope. Beautiful. Thank you Heatherwick Studio!
