We\u2019re all so used to our cards being neatly tucked into a little red or blue box. So used to it that anything else feels like a spectacle. A good one, though. <\/p>\n

Root Playing Cards, designed by Studio These Days<\/a>, come in two colorways. One is a blazing orange with yellow cloud-shaped blob badges, and the other is a clean cream with deep blue type and soft pink flower shapes, both scattered with tiny illustrated suit icons reimagined as colorful geometric characters.<\/p>\n

The overall design language draws on the same maximalist, playful graphic tradition as nostalgic toy brands, but filtered through a contemporary graphic design sensibility. In a toy and game market that is rediscovering the power of design as a purchase driver for adults\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0kids, Root is clear proof that a deck of cards can be just as considered as anything else on a design lover\u2019s shelf.<\/p>\n
