In this episode we take a look at the first playing cards from designer Alexandre Matencio, the Diva Playing Cards. Also we give you a chance to win a copy of the deck for yourself and announce the winner of the black DKNG Wheel deck.
The Diva playing cards were first launched via kickstarter in March of 2018 and the deck landed in the hands of backers by October. The deck comes packaged in a white matte cardstock tuckcase. The front of the box features a mosaic of colorful blocks and shapes within the framework of an invisible 4 x 6 grid. The colors are mostly shades of the primary colors; red, yellow and blue. The front also announces these as the first edition. The sides of the box continue the motiff and the back features a petal shape extracted from the design fanned out to look like a tulip. At the bottom in tiny writing announces the 3000 deck edition size and the year of production. The bottom of the tuck names the printer as Cartamundi, and that the deck was designed in Paris France by Alexandre Matencio. The tuck has no seal and the tuck flap features the multi-colored flower once again.
The striking back design is the first aspect that immediately grabs you once you pull the deck out of the box. The two-way back design is on again comprised of a multitude of geometric shapes; Rectangles, quarter circles, squares, etc. on a 6 x 4 panel grid set within a white poker style border. The interplay and formation of the shapes produces a fluidity to the card backs that really plays with perception. There's an obvious Bauhaus art style influence and It’s definitely an eye-catching design that plays well for the decks intended purpose.
