Our first edition of Eames Playing Cards showcases the Eames Office Starburst Logo on the backs. This iconic emblem recurred in their work and here signifies the creative energy possessed by both Charles and Ray—a burst of light reaching for the outer limits of design's true purpose.
The numbering system on the faces even permits certain acts of cardistry to function as subtle performances of the Eameses' classic film “Powers of Ten." Meanwhile, the court cards honor the natural majesty they saw in elemental geometric shapes. Form, mathematics, and the critical role of constraints in design are threads woven throughout the Eameses' life and work.
Eames Playing Cards come in a letterpress printed box celebrating the house Charles and Ray designed and built--and lived in for the rest of their lives.
Made in the USA.
