An idea as exciting as it is creative

Some guy named Mauricio Arruda is the designer-architect responsible for this ingenious House of Cards table.

Are you getting that these are not regular playing cards yet?

It’s truly spectacular because it just looks so damn real. Mauricio describes the process of production saying:

“To manufacture the table, a process of laser cutting was used. This technology created a perfect reproduction of a deck of cards in scale 13:1. Subsequently, steel cards were welded one to one forming a second‐story house of cards that serves as an under frame. These frames feature a versatile look to the piece, since they are capable of supporting different sized tabletops.”

Whatever you do, do not bump the table.

Each card is created as a single piece so they can be assembled like a real house of cards, where each piece is selected randomly. What a clever way to bring freshness and charm to a room.
