Crazy, colorful, zany card castles...without all the hassle of having to rebuild them every five minutes when they collapse. (via sciencegeek)

I grew up around a lot of Eames things - furniture, cards, their movies. My little sister and I used to play with these cards and fight over our favorite images in them. I liked the one with marbles and would hide it from her.

Saw these again years later at a tiny exhibit near where I work, sat down to play with them and was immediately transported back to childhood. I made a castle out of them and spent some time looking at the individual pictures.

I'd like to have a set of these or have an excuse to give them to some kids so they can play too.

You could always make your own version of these by printing designs on cardstock and cutting them to shape.

keep 'em stylish, even while they're playing.
