Earth Cufflinks



Fluid Forms has executed another example of reality colliding with 3D design. Their new "Earth Cufflinks" product enables you to order silver cufflinks shaped to match the terrain of the earth. Which terrain? That's up to you to select using their easy-to-use google-mapped tool. 




You select a place name or post code, and immediately you are in a familiar google map environment where you may scroll and zoom to the desired location. After selection you are presented with a 3D view of the resulting section, as you can see in the view of the Sarajevo area above. The "Stretch height" option gives the shape a bit more oomph.

The price? Only €208, or USD$313, plus shipping. Not bad!
