French communications agency Mumure brings us Contact, a series of thermo-sensitive business cards. The cards react to human-contact and body temperature. Street art, such as graffiti, inspired the original trio of Contact designs.
The double-sided, thermo-sensitive business cards come in three shades, an off-white, black and a dark grey with black writing. Once handled the ink changes shades to become lighter, while a quick shake of the Contact card returns the ink to its original color.
This is a brand new approach to business cards. They are no longer only carrying information but also become personalized, tactile objects that express communication between individuals.
