Design in the Details: How 3D Printing and Ingenuity Brought Our Brand to Life
At Albert Kahn, our values of ingenuity, curiosity, and belonging are more than just words on a wall. They shape the way we design, collaborate, and problem-solve—sometimes in big ways, and sometimes in surprisingly small ones. When we unveiled our new brand identity, one of our architectural team members, Jacob Smith, saw an opportunity to carry that vision forward in a way that was both creative and deeply intentional. The result? Custom 3D printed business card holders that do far more than just hold cards—they tell a story.
The Kahn Bar: The Innovation That Reinforced the Future
The early 20th century was an era of rapid industrial expansion, calling for robust structures capable of supporting large, open spaces and heavy equipment. Concrete, though durable, was prone to cracking under stress—a significant limitation for high-stakes building projects. Julius Kahn, an inventive engineer and the brother to our company’s founder, Albert Kahn, saw this challenge as an opportunity. Enter the Kahn Bar, an innovation that would redefine the potential of concrete and change the trajectory of modern construction.
