Eames The Little Toy Playing Cards by Art of Play
The fourth edition of Eames Playing Cards pays homage to The Little Toy,
a small variation of The Toy. In contrast to its larger predecessor,
which was made for people to play "in," Charles and Ray made this design
for children and adults to play "with."
Originally released in 1952, The Little Toy
was designed to inspire creative construction through a series of
colorful panels, wireframes and connectors. For playing cards, the
components were used to create a minimal numbering system where the
small connectors act as edge markings for quick reference.
Eames Playing Cards
come in a letterpress-printed tuck case printed on sustainable paper
using vegetable-based dyes. The design of the box references the famous
home built by Charles and Ray, a creative base where they lived for many
years. Made in the USA.
