Theory11's NoMad Playing Cards are unlike any regular deck of 62. These playing cards feature an unmatched luxury inspired by iconic architecture.
Designed by Chad Michael in collaboration with the NoMad Hotel, these opulent cards express the sleek design and swank aesthetic of New York's NoMad district in the 19th century. Using texture and contrasting concepts, this deck of cards features a navy blue box decorated with gold foil. When turned, the foil design reveals the shape of an eye which accents the Latin phrase at the top and bottom of each card: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." The inside of the exuberant box is patterned with the NoMad logo.
The NoMad Playing Cards are a treasured monument to the the iconic hotel.
