Apparently these were once sold at the MAK museum shop but I was not able to find them.
In 2012, six product designers from six different European countries were invited by the Vienna Tourist Board1 to capture their view of Vienna in a three-dimensional proposal for a souvenir for the city. The result of the competition saw Formafantasma as the winner, with its design for a deck of playing cards loaded with historical references to modernist Vienna.

The design of the cards revisits the picturesque. Textures sampled from museum archives, iconic modernist buildings and traditional Austrian products are playfully combined to create a new iconic collection of playing cards. The deck has been locally produced in Vienna by the traditional playing cards company Piatnik & Söhne
