Why It Made The List

Whimsy, colour and mid-century flair collide in this deck inspired by a 1950 tissue-paper kite designed by Charles Eames. Drawing directly from the kite’s elegant simplicity and playful pops of hue, each card feels joyfully light-hearted yet thoughtfully designed. The deck arrives in a letterpress-printed box and is printed on FSC-certified stock in the USA. Ideal for both fans of design and card players alike, it turns a basic deck into something you’ll want to display as much as deal.

MORE DETAIL

A design-led deck created in collaboration with the Eames Office, inspired by the tissue-paper kite Charles Eames designed in 1950.

The back design lifts its geometry and colour palette from the original kite, translating its light, playful structure into a clean mid-century pattern that feels immediately connected to the world of Eames.

Printed in the United States on FSC-certified paper, the cards have a smooth, premium finish that handles well for shuffling, dealing, and everyday play.

They arrive in a letterpress-printed tuck box that echoes the visual language of the Eames House, giving the deck a sense of place within the wider Eames universe.

Sized to standard poker dimensions, it’s a small, tactile celebration of an iconic 1950 design; a thoughtful blend of Eames history and everyday utility.
