Mikro, mikro man! I want to be a mikro man!

Mikro man sculptures have been around for a while, but they're so cool, I thought I'd cover them here anyway.


Designed by Sam Buxton, the sculptures are made from a single thin piece of steel. With the right bends, you get the final detailed little Mikro man environment. They were originally designed by Buxton as an innovative little business card that was meant to grab potential employers' attention. It worked, and then some.

You can buy them at Follow Function and Uncommon Goods, and they start at $15. More complicated Mikro men are quite a bit more, but the Mikro house is pretty darn cool.
