STOCKHOLM17 Playing Cards
Designed in Sweden by Italian hands
Welcome to STOCKHOLM17
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, I design playing cards.
It all started with my curiosity for playing cards since I was a kid. I am Italian and in my childhood I basically used only 2 kind of decks: the standard 54 cards deck especially for a family game called - in Italian - Scala40, and a regional one called Le Piacentine. This one was the "summer-deck" and the "Christmas deck": a regional Italian deck with 4 suites (swords, sticks, coins and cups) counting 40 cards in total. I've been always fascinated by those illustrations, and a couple of years ago I decided to make my very first deck of playing cards.
I am not a poker player, I cannot perform magic tricks or cardistry. I am passionate about playing cards and I love designing them.
