Introducing Unique Playing Cards, a brand new company working with exceptional designers to make premium the new standard. Unique was founded by Sergio Roca who has been involved in the card community for more than 10 years as a cardist, designer and card producer. During its early stages, Max Jung joined the team as the brand’s strategist and designer. According to Sergio,
We want to provide passionate artists the spotlight of attention that they deserve. And by that, we dedicate ourselves to enhancing the recognition of card designers from all over the world and strengthening their connection to the card community.
After 3 years of development, the Unique team is now more than happy to announce their first deck collaboration NEVERMORE. Crafted from scratch with passion & exceptional skill by the designer Antno Creative. Sergio continued,
This deck has a special place in our hearts. We have been working on it for the last 2 years. Thanks to Antno Creative, who designed this beautiful deck, Unique starts his journey featuring the three most important characteristics in our designs: elegancy, exclusiveness, and quality.
The designer’s intent and influence on this deck are clear. Behind every line, there is a dark passenger who led him to create Nevermore. The American writer Edgar Allan Poe. This deck is a nod to the work, The Raven, written in 1845 by the master of horror. Sergio explained,
antnO is passionate about mystery and everything that surrounds what the human being is not capable of explaining. We seek to reach an understanding, to be able to discern between what is real and what is generated by our subconscious. This sentiment is reflected on the back of his new deck.
The designer wanted to be a continuation of his linear and elegant style. The design of this deck stands out for the simplicity of its shapes in every detail, but looking back, we will see that these simple elements are part of a more complex whole.
The use of dark blue represents the colors of the raven and the night, the red velvet of the divan, the white reflection of the moon and the stars that enter through the window, and the golden tinkle produced by the lamp and fireplace that filled the room. Sergio concludes,
Moving forward we do not want to become “just” a brand that showcases its products, instead, we highly believe in inviting you to take a look behind the scenes. We will guide you through our whole process when creating a deck of cards. We are thrilled to welcome you to enjoy this unique journey with us. You can’t even imagine what is about to come your way…
NEVERMORE launches on Kickstarter on Friday, 12th August. Don’t miss out!
