Eames "Kite" Playing Cards

How does a mid-century tissue-paper kite design translate into a high-design playing card deck?

Eames "Kite" Playing Cards takes inspiration from a delicate tissue-paper kite designed by Charles Eames in 1950. Created in official collaboration between the Eames Office and Art of Play, the deck draws its simplicity of form and whimsical color scheme directly from the original archival artifact. Embracing the iconic Eames ethos to "take your pleasure seriously," the cards are printed on sustainable FSC-certified paper and housed in a letterpress-printed box celebrating the famous Eames House.
