Sam Buxton was one of the four designers short-listed for the Design Museum's Designer of the Year award in 2004. His three-dimensional business cards and fold-up sculptures are made with an acid etching process. His practice explores the notion of print-making as a three-dimensional process and offers interesting comparisons with the numerous prints and plates in the V&A's collections.
