Unique House of Cards Table by Mauricio Arruda

Do you like to play cards? I think this furniture item for venturesome people who value contemporary style. House of Cards table is a creative idea by Brazilian designer-architect Mauricio Arruda. The technology of laser cutting allows producing a perfect reproduction of a deck of cards in scale 13:1. The images of the playing cards are printed individually in the plates of steel to create a different configuration. As a result the table can accommodate from 6 to 10 people. It seems like a fragile house of cards, but in fact it is capable of supporting up to 250 kg tops. That's such an unusual paradox. And another thing, there are no two identical tables, because combinations of cards are always random.
