ROOM52 - SILVER

Kickstarter

With "Room & Space" as the theme, I pondered for a long time on how to represent "room" concretely. Eventually, I decided to use "doors" as a tangible object. A surface with a door becomes a room.

As the debut project in this series, "doors" signify the initial notion of "entering everything." Inspiration largely came from motels and key cards frequently seen in road movies.

For the illustrations, I used the earliest water-based pens commonly used in early card designs. The process involved physical illustration before scanning, attempting to produce cards in the most classical way rather than simply simulating a set of so-called vintage designs.

As the debut of Smooth Writing, the cards are manufactured by TCC in China.

The Silver Edition's (limited to 700) design has been modified to resemble an elevator door, and the deck's design is adjusted to a silver-gray tone.

The embossed tuck case with deluxe specialty paper and silver foil on the inside make the tuck case exceptionally textured. Linen finish and the appropriate paper thickness also ensure a remarkable feel while using them.
