Charles and Ray Eames were American designers who worked in and made major contributions to modern architecture and furniture. They also worked in fields of industrial and graphic design. Created in 1952, the most successful toy of Charles and Ray Eames is a series of cards printed with images that could be built into three-dimensional structures of various shapes and sizes. Charles and Ray’s view of toys was that a point can be made and something can be learned by both adults and children.

The Eames “House of Cards” was a diverse, creative toy that aimed at children and adults alike. There were two sets developed: one consisted primarily of patterns with textures/colors while the second deck focused on photographs. Each card contains six. slits that can be used to construct architectural pieces. These pieces allow everyday people to become designers of their own, proving that something new can be created out of things we’d least expect. Do no see design as a form of art but as an act of experimentation within the realms of creativity.
