Designed by Art of Play in close collaboration with the Eames office, these cards are a tribute to the timeless sensibilities of Charles & Ray Eames.

Eames "Kite" Playing Cards take inspiration from a tissue-paper kite designed by Charles Eames in 1950. The simplicity of form and whimsical color-scheme were drawn directly from the original artifact, a high-design toy that reminds us to “Take your pleasure seriously.”

Packaged in a luxurious letterpress-printed tuck box with the design referencing the famous home built by Charles and Ray, a creative base where they lived for many years. This marvellous set was sustainably produced, making an ideal deck for idiosyncratic collectors, card sharps, and art lovers alike.

materials : FSC certified paper derived from sustainable forests, vegetable-based inks.

Manufactured with paper from sustainable forests and printed with environmentally friendly, vegetable-based inks, the quality of these decks is among the world's finest. Each pack is the product of an imaginative collaboration with artists and illustrators, spanning a range of aesthetics, with plenty of detail to discover over years of play.
