Mikro Men
These are sooooo cool! My wonderful girlfriend got me one of these for Christmas this year. They are called Mikro Men and according to their website, “are a brand of miniature fold out metal sculptures created by Sam Buxton.” And I love them!
Mikro Men come in a sleek looking, black, fold-out cardboard package kept closed with a magnet. The Mikro man is shipped flat and is stamped out of a single thin piece of stainless steel. You use your fingers to bend the metal at the “fold lines” or a pair of tweezers for the smaller pieces like the trash can in the Office Man above (this is the one I have). After a few fun minutes you have a totally awesome piece of art for your desk. My Mikro Man lives on my desk on the base of my Apple Cinema display.
