# Simplistic Semi-Transparent Decks The PP Playing Cards are Made for Modern Poker Players By Meghan Young | Published 2012-08-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pp-playing-cards References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/let_us_make_one_more_thing_clear_23305.asp) & [muji.us](http://www.muji.us/store/art-and-craft/pp-playing-cards.html) The PP Playing Cards is the deck of the future. All that needs tweaking is perhaps a few LED lights or perhaps turning them into full holograms. Of course, the latter would be a bit extreme. Instead, this card deck revolves around a minimalist design that does away with classic illustrations for simple dots that cover the value of each card on the front. Available at [Muji](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muji-labo), a Japanese retailer that focuses on clean and simple designs, the PP Playing Cards are made out of polypropylene, which gives it their [semi-transparent aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clearcam). Perfect for progressive people rather than [poker purists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wpt-arsham-poker-set), the PP Playing Cards would certainly make the game more interesting. They would also make a great addition to modern homes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Simplistic Gaming Products:** Companies can develop gaming products like card decks with simple designs that have a unique aesthetic appeal. - **Polypropylene Aesthetics:** Polypropylene's unique semi-transparent aesthetic can be used to create products that bring a modern touch to classic designs. - **Minimalist Design Trend:** The minimalist design trend can inspire companies to create products that focus on simplicity and functionality, rather than traditional or ornate designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming Industry:** The gaming industry has the opportunity to create simplistic and modern gaming products that appeal to a wide range of consumers. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can capitalize on the minimalist design trend and offer products like polypropylene card decks to appeal to consumers who prefer simplicity and functionality over traditional designs. - **Design Industry:** The design industry can create innovative products using materials like polypropylene that offer unique aesthetics and appeal to consumers who seek simplicity and modern design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indie Game Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balatro-playing-card-deck.md) - [Magician-Designed Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-playing-cards.md) - [Customizable Trading Card Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trading-card-holders.md) - [Limited-Edition Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-playing-cards.md) - [Exclusive Card Game Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-x-kartell-deck.md) - [Structure Building Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-cards-building-kit.md) - [Limited Ceramic Poker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wpt-arsham-poker-set.md) - [Playing Card Blemish Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeumont-blemish-patches.md) - [Playing Cards-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hito-table.md)
