the cardkits story
Cardkits are inspired by the elaborate paper cities that designer Anther Kiley built as a child. Raised in a family of artists and without many commercial toys, Anther started making his own when he was 9 years old. Like Anther’s childhood constructions, Cardkits combine the rewards of hands-on making with the excitement of creative world building.
