Why It Made The List

A playful riff on the Eameses’ 1952 Little Toy construction set, this deck turns the original shapes and connector pieces into a bold, graphic system for card play. The artwork is bright without shouting, using the toy’s geometric language in a way that feels clever, simple, and unmistakably Eames. Printed on premium stock with a smooth, easy handle, it’s as satisfying to use as it is to look at. Housed in a crisp letterpress tuck box, it channels the creative spirit of the original toy into a pocketable piece of design you’ll actually reach for.

MORE DETAIL

A playing card deck created in collaboration with the Eames Office and Art of Play, inspired by Charles and Ray Eames’ 1952 Little Toy construction kit.

The original Little Toy was a smaller version of their modular play set and encouraged building and exploration. This deck translates its colourful panels, wireframes and connectors into a set of playful graphic elements that appear in the numbering, layout and edge details of each card.

The cards are printed in the United States on FSC certified paper with a smooth, durable finish. The letterpress printed tuck box uses sustainable materials and vegetable based inks and reflects the visual language found throughout the Eames House.

The box measures 3.5 × 2.5 × 0.5 inches and sits neatly in the hand, compact but full of character.

Simple, cheerful and rooted in mid century design, it turns an iconic Eames object into something to enjoy at the table as well as on the shelf.
