Utopia Playing Cards

Published January 12, 2014 Updated November 24, 2023

This pack has been inspired by the concept of Utopia, a seemingly perfect and ideal place.

2013 South East Asia Thailand United States Playing Card Co. Tarin Yuangtrakul

Tarin Yuangtrakul a graphic designer from Thailand has contributed to the Card Experiment project by creating the Utopia deck. Utopia is the concept of a seemingly perfect and ideal place. When ideals collide, Utopia descends into Dystopia. The Utopia deck toys with the notions of loss of self and identity as well as conformity using highly structured and similar arrangements dosed with a touch of surrealistic imagery.

You can learn more about the Card Experiment project on their website; or view more of Tarin's artwork on his own site.
