Craighill Playing Cards

When the conversation has fizzled out, break out a deck of cards

The Playing Cards strike a fine balance: chic, yet familiar. All of the careful, subtle design choices work in service of the fundamental goal: to relish in an extremely playable deck of cards.

The box is reminiscent of a cassette tape, while echoing the contours of the lid of a grand piano. It features a magnetic closure and a satisfying snap. A chorus of “whoa, that’s cool” will follow wherever it goes. The cards bend, slide, and shuffle exactly as they should, and the handfeel is a thing of great beauty: hard to capture, you’ll know it when you feel it.
