Eames Starburst Playing Cards

If you’re an aficionado of the Mid-Century modern style aesthetic, chances are you’ll also be avid fans of Ray and Charles Eames who were the biggest proponents of this style within the world of interior design. To celebrate their timeless designs and influence on the industry, Art of Play offer these great-looking Eames Starburst Playing Cards which really will add a touch of class to your next game night.

The Eames Starburst Playing Cards from Art of Play will set you back $18 but will definitely become the deck you reach for whenever you’ve got company that fancies a few hands of poker or blackjack. The deck was designed by Art of Play in close collaboration with The Eames Office and it is a fitting tribute to the timeless sensibilities of Charles & Ray Eames.

This first edition of Eames Playing Cards shows off the Eames Office Starburst Logo on the backs of each card. This iconic emblem was a recurring motif in the work of both the legendary designers, Charles and Ray Eames. Here it signifies their boundless creative energy—an explosion of light that strives to reach the outer limits of design’s true purpose.

The unique numbering system on the faces of this Eames-inspired deck allows for acts of cardistry to function as understated nods to the Eameses’ classic film “Powers of Ten.” The court cards are a fitting tribute to the natural majesty they discovered in elemental geometric shapes which infused their furniture design.

Each deck of these super-classy Eames Playing Cards come in a letterpress-printed tuck case that has been printed on sustainable paper and uses vegetable-based dyes. The design aesthetic of the box has been chosen as a reference to the famous home that was built by Charles and Ray, a creative base where they lived for many years. Love Eames design and playing poker? You’re welcome.
