Eames x Art of Play: The Little Toy Deck

$18

SKU: 10121-1 In Stock

The latest Eames Office & Art of Play deck celebrates the playful 1952 building kit, The Little Toy.

 

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.

The Eames Playing Cards come in a letterpress printed box celebrating the iconic home Charles and Ray designed and built for themselves.

Toys

Charles and Ray were serious about the designing of objects—from the initial brainstorming of constraints to an item’s longevity through the decades—and simultaneously, they derived many of their design processes from toys. The intrinsic qualities of toys taught the Eameses that a design could be unselfconscious, simple in its use of materials, and provoke a feeling of delight.
