Stockholm17 playing cards by Swedish designer Lorenzo Gaggiotti: The Parlour and Ravn series in stock. Classic-style decks for magic, play and collecting.
Stockholm17 is the label under which Swedish designer Lorenzo Gaggiotti, based in Stockholm, publishes his playing cards. He has been drawing classic-looking poker decks for over a decade, with redrawn court cards and many designed for magicians. Here are the Stockholm17 playing cards we have in stock: The Parlour and the Ravn series.
Who Stockholm17 is
Behind Stockholm17 is Lorenzo Gaggiotti, who in 2015 released the No. 17 deck with Bicycle and has since put out series such as Le Voyage du Chat Rouge, Gemini, The Eye of the Ocean and Odd Fellows. His work has gone beyond playing cards: the brand says he designed four cards for Magic: The Gathering, and in 2024 he received the Diamond Award from the 52+Joker Club, a club of playing card collectors.
His style starts from the traditional deck: court cards redrawn with new faces and gestures, ivory-toned faces, embossed tuck boxes and illustrated jokers. That is why his decks suit magicians who want something of their own without losing the look of a normal deck. If you are interested in where those designs come from, read the history of the poker deck.
