This business card holder is shaped like an anvil resting on a tree stump, turning a simple desk item into a small decorative display. The top slot holds business cards upright and visible, making it easy to grab a card while keeping them organized on a desk, counter, or shelf. The sculpted base gives the holder a grounded, solid look without taking up much space.

The idea behind this design was to make a business card holder that feels more like a small desk ornament than a plain accessory. The anvil and stump combination adds character and makes the holder stand out on a workspace, while still keeping the function simple and practical. It works well for desks, workshops, craft rooms, or anywhere cards are frequently handed out.

This design is also part of a personal challenge I’m doing for the year 2026: designing and releasing a brand new 3D printable model every single day for an entire year. Each design will explore a different idea—some practical, some playful, some reflective. If you enjoy following creative processes, testing new designs, or simply watching ideas turn into physical objects, feel free to follow along and join me on this 365-day journey.
