Contraband Playing Cards

Designed in the United Kingdom by Joe White.

Think Inside the Box

THE CONTRABAND INTERIOR FEATURES AN ELEGANT BLACK FOIL DESIGN.

The tuck case, and the cards within, are all printed on FSC-certified, ECF paper. Secret imagery is hidden within the design: the lines of the inner flap construct (literally!) a face of mystery.

Our Most Intricate Deck Yet

Shielded in gold and black foil

Designed in the United Kingdom by Joe White, Contraband Playing Cards were inspired by secret societies, conspiracy theories, and everything unknown.

Designed From Scratch

Completely custom faces and backs

Every single playing card within the Contraband deck was designed from scratch - even the Aces, Jokers, and court cards display attention to detail never before achieved. Over a year in the making - and every minute of it is visible in the final design.

Contraband Book Lamp

The story behind this special edition is so incredible - we needed two books just to tell it.

Two very special, authentic, 50-year old books sit on a shelf, one on top of the other. Each book has a secret beyond its original purpose. The top book is a functional lamp, handcrafted complete with a vintage Edison bulb and antique nickel power switch.

Note - Contraband Book Lamps use a US-style plug and are intended for 110v. You will need an adapter if you are not using a US-style plug, and will need a 220v to 110v Step-Down converter if your power source is 220v (not included).

A Hidden Safe

HAND-CRAFTED WITH RECLAIMED BOOKS

As with everything, there's more than meets the eye. Slide the top book aside to reveal a secret wooden compartment hidden inside. Four decks of Contraband playing cards reside within, yours to use or replace with Contraband of your own. Each book lamp is masterfully crafted by N44º woodworks.
