A skateboarding Santa Claus, a festive snow globe and MVRDV's mirrored art depot in Rotterdam feature in our selection of the best Christmas cards sent by architects, designers and brands this year.
Alongside these joyous cards, was a more apocalyptic take on Christmas from British architect Piers Taylor tiled The Raft of Plague Island (below).
"As the rest of the world look on agog, we sit here trapped on Plague Island and the only real surprise is that most British people seem to be saying 'two sugars please', Instagramming pictures of their Christmas tree and sending out cards of cosy winter scenes, not seeming to give two hoots that the UK is fatally holed, adrift, and alone," wrote Taylor reflecting on the rising coronavirus cases in the UK and potential of a no-deal Brexit.
"There is indeed no future in England's dreaming, and there never was. We're f*cked. Happy Christmas!" he continued.
