The fourth edition of Eames Playing Cards celebrates "The Little Toy," a charming variation of Charles and Ray Eames' original "The Toy." Unlike its larger counterpart, designed for immersive play, "The Little Toy" is perfect for both children and adults to enjoy together. This edition beautifully captures the playful spirit and innovative design ethos of the Eames duo.

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.

The unique numbering system on the faces of the cards enables acts of cardistry to function as subtle homages to the Eameses' classic film “Powers of Ten." The court cards honor the natural majesty they found in elemental geometric shapes.
