Designed by Art of Play in close collaboration with The Eames Office, this deck of cards pays homage to the timeless sensibility of Charles and Ray Eames. This special edition of Eames playing cards features the iconic Eames Office Starburst logo on the back, a recurring motif in the couple’s work. This symbol represents their endless creative energy, depicting an explosion of light that transcends the boundaries of design to express its true essence.
The unique numbering system on the card faces is a subtle nod to the Eames’ iconic film, “Powers of Ten,” which explores the scales of the universe. Through this system, the cards become a visual experience that reflects the Eames’ visionary approach to perspective and proportion. The court cards, meanwhile, celebrate the majesty of simple geometric forms, a constant inspiration for the duo, who saw mathematics and structural simplicity as the key to elegant design.
The cards are carefully presented in a letterpress printed box, using sustainable paper and vegetable dyes, in line with Art of Play's ecological and ethical principles. The design of the box is directly inspired by the Eames House, the legendary place where Charles and Ray not only lived, but also designed and experimented with their innovative ideas. The box thus evokes the spirit of this house, symbol of daily creativity and a constant exploration of the possibilities of design.
Made in the USA, this deck of cards is an ode to the Eames legacy, blending retro aesthetics, modern innovation and a deep reflection on the role of design. Perfect for collectors, design enthusiasts and fans of the Eameses' work, this deck combines the beauty of geometric forms with the fundamental principles that marked the life and work of the iconic couple.
