Eames "Starburst" Black

This new black colorway was only available for 24 hours during Black Friday (2022). Designed by Art of Play in close collaboration with The Eames Office, "Starbust" playing cards serve as a tribute to the timeless sensibilities of Charles & Ray Eames. Following the release of the Red Edition in 2021 and the Blue Edition earlier this year, we are excited to present the Eames "Starburst" Playing Cards in Black. Eames "Starburst" Playing Cards showcase the Eames Office Starburst Logo on the backs. This iconic emblem was a recurring motif in the work of both Charles and Ray. Here it signifies their boundless creative energy—an explosion of light reaching for the outer limits of design's true purpose. 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. Mathematics, form, and the critical role of constraints in design are threads woven throughout the Eameses' life and work.
