Project Description

Save the Date Projects and Daily Bicycle Co. officially inaugurate their respective projects during an open-house weekend in Madrid; they are united by their shared belief in products and customer attention that are personalized, accessible, quality-focused, and based on good, solid design.

The project was focused on introducing the design & bicycles to the attendants so we decided to include a laser-cut bicycle in our invitation so the people invited could set up their own—nearly a DIY project for them.

Production Lesson(s)

Aligning laser-cut holes with the design and the letterpress printing was the most challenging process as pieces may fall off if this part was not done properly. Using 2 different suppliers for this process was a risk, but they were professional enough to advise properly so the project was finished successfully.”
