House of Cards

This is something I covet, but it’s a little too dear to justify buying. We had them in a playroom at my ex-workplace, addictive to play with and lovely to look at. The cards each have a different picture from the animal, mineral, or vegetable kingdoms. They have notches cut in them so the cards are easy to interlock into a visual bonanza.

(The images are from here (UK) and here (US).)

When looking for this online (I’d seen it in the South Bank Centre’s shop), I learned to my surprise that Ray Eames is a girl. I’d always thought Charles and Ray were two brothers.
