Shelter: House of Cards

For their House of Cards campaign, UK homeless charity Shelter invited 52 of the country’s leading artists and designers to create a unique collection of playing cards. Including creations from Alexander McQueen, Damien Hirst, Vivienne Westwood, Sir Terence Conran, and many other UK designers I have no clue about, the full deck was on display at the Haunch of Venison gallery in London.

As part of Shelter’s effort to raise awareness of Britain’s housing crisis, the cards were auctioned off on the closing night of the exhibition. Have a look at some of them below.

See the full deck at Shelter: House of Cards.
