A letter to the future
May 19th, 2009 by News
Although anyone currently using the Royal Mail postal service is likely to experience delays of up to 30 years, as far as we know these delays are not officially part of the service. Douceurs (bad name, great product), however, have made delayed mail their USP.
Simultaneously reviving the art of letter writing and giving it an utterly modern facelift, Douceurs will store your letter for up to 30 years and then post it to the intended recipient as a message from the past.
We at Intelligent Naivety are all in favour of the digital era (you might have guessed..?) but critics claim it has delivered the ability to communicate in great volume and little meaning (twitter, anyone?), which is probably why this service stopped us in our tracks.
Macabre, useless or poetic? Answers on a postcard.
