Eames “Kite” Playing Cards are a playful tribute to a simple yet joyful design created by Charles Eames in 1950.

Made in collaboration with the Eames Office, this deck takes inspiration from a tissue-paper kite designed by Charles Eames. The clean geometry and whimsical color palette are drawn directly from the original artifact, reflecting the Eames belief that even the simplest forms can carry imagination, delight, and purpose.

The design honors the Eames philosophy to “take your pleasure seriously,” transforming a humble toy into a thoughtful graphic language. The result is a deck that feels lighthearted and refined at the same time, equally suited for play, display, or gifting.

The cards are housed in a letterpress-printed box inspired by the home Charles and Ray Eames designed and built, making this set a small but meaningful celebration of their approach to design and everyday joy.
