Whether you’re playing poker, Texas Hold ‘em or Black Jack, this new Eames Playing Cards set is a great addition to game night.

Made in conjunction with the acclaimed Eames Office, the deck features an array of visual nods to the legendary design duo. From their Starburst Logo on the back of each, to the geometric shapes that replace face cards. Additionally, the unique numbering system provides a visual homage to Charles and Ray’s classic film, Powers of Ten.

Produced by Art of Play, the deck comes neatly packaged in a letterpress-printed tuck case and is printed on sustainable paper using vegetable-based dyes. Eames fans will also notice that the cover of the packaging is inspired by the couple’s Pacific Palisades home. Eames Playing Cards is available to purchase for $18 USD via Art of Play and the Eames Office.
