Business Card Holder From Old Yellow Pages

Don't have much use for Yellow Pages anymore; I scan and pitch business cards so don't have much use for them either. Nonetheless, London-based designer Afroditi Krassa has designed a simple tube to contain about 394 yellow pages in this clever idea. Somewhere on her un-navigable website Core77 found:

"This card holder design re-uses last year's YellowPages directory as its main material. The directory needs to be trimmed to the right diameter (approx. 394pages), rolled up and inserted into a metal tube. The size and exact use of the object is up to the maker, from photos to notes, business cards to envelopes. The product can be stored either vertically or horizontally."

Alan at Core77 suggests that "Of course, you could use a toilet paper tube instead of the steel, but then you'd be rocking a whole different feel."

That's pretty cool actually. I just got some business cards, and if I had a real office, that would definitely help in getting people to grab one of my cards. It's very intriguing.

This is not green. Green is minimizing the quantity of material used. This takes an easily recycled material and wastes it. 394 pages to hold 10 business cards?

"easily recycled material"

Um, where do you live? Because I'll send my yellow pages to you. No one here takes them.

cheap Mac-Gyver alternative:

use tie-raps or duct-tape to keep the pages together
