Studio note
This card is a material departure: black PVD stainless steel, substantial and tactile. The mark is etched into the front face in a matte satin finish that reads as precision. The name lives on the back in gold foil, so the card must be turned to be read—a deliberate inversion of hierarchy. Luxury doesn't shout on both sides.
