AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
- Title: Toy Ephemera
- Year: 1950
- Availability: Vintage inventory from Eames Office
- Description:
- House of Cards picture deck original packaging by Tigrett
- House of Cards Double Deck original insert with names of images on cards
- Tigrett Toys advertisment featuring House of Cards, The Toy, The Little Toy
- The Coloring Toy Ad
- Context:
Charles and Ray were serious about the designing of objects—from the initial brainstorming of constraints to an item’s longevity through the decades—and simultaneously, they derived many of their design processes from toys. The intrinsic qualities of toys taught the Eameses that a design could be unselfconscious, simple in its use of materials, and provoke a feeling of delight.
The lot has already been shipped from Los Angeles to storage in Amsterdam. Therefore, customs clearance and shipping timelines will follow our standard process, with no additional delays expected
Seller's Story
The Eames Office:
Founded in the 1940s in Venice, California, the Eames Office is the creative home and design studio of Charles and Ray Eames. It’s where they pioneered molded plywood and fiberglass sculptures, creating enduring icons like the Lounge Chair, DCM, and Eames Chaise — designs that remain warm, functional, and built to last.
Now led by the next generations of the Eames family, it is the custodian of all Eames designs and the founding patron of the Charles & Ray Eames Foundation. It preserves a multidisciplinary legacy spanning furniture, film, architecture, toys, textiles, and more.
