About the design

Ray Eames designed the Dot Pattern in 1947 for a printed textile exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The pattern is a set of dots and crosses and references to Charles Eames abstract paintings from the 1930s. Since then, the Eames Dot Pattern has been made into upholstery, tablecloths, curtains, pillows, purses, business card cases and more. Of course, our Dot design is engraved into the lid chrome finished metal and black lacquer is hand applied in the etched parts of the design. Needless to say, the sleek designer card case comes with a black box and sleeves.
