Sleek Minimalist Playing Cards

Joe Doucet is a card.

Once hailed by Forbes as a “living blueprint for the 21st century”, the US-based designer has given further proof of his eye for design with these slick playing cards, available in black or white depending how you're, ahem, suited.

Packed with strikingly simple geometric shapes standing in for hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades respectively, these are worthy of any casino table of the near future. Even the back of the cards, which under most gambling/magic regulation must always be marked, contain only the thinnest of diagonal lines.

Frankly, they might may as well have been lifted from the opening animated credits of a Bond film such is their coolness. Though you needn't wait for SPECTRE to come out in cinemas - the sets are available to buy right now for just £7 (plus shipping where applicable).

Only a joker would turn that offer down.
