Overview
Eames "Kite" Playing Cards
Made in collaboration with the Eames Office. Eames "Kite" Playing Cards take inspiration from a tissue-paper kite designed by Charles Eames in 1950. The simplicity of form and whimsical color-scheme were drawn directly from the original artifact, a high-design toy that reminds us to “Take your pleasure seriously.”
Eames Playing Cards come in a letterpress printed box celebrating the house Charles and Ray designed and built.

Since uniting in 1940, these partners in life and work have been internationally recognized at the forefront of the design, architecture, filmmaking, and furniture communities.
