Contemporary artist Daniel Arsham has collaborated with the World Poker Tour to release limited-edition poker chip sets, which will go on sale for $5,000 each Friday.
Arsham has worked with a long list of brands to create limited-edition and collectible pieces, including Dior, Kith, Adidas and Pokémon, with the releases often generating significant buzz and selling for a premium on the secondary market.
Just 100 of the limited-edition sets will be sold.
“The WPT Arsham Poker Set is anticipated to be one of the most sought-after collector's items this year, representing a unique blend of artistry, exclusivity, and refined design,” the company said in a statement, going on to say the collaboration “reimagines iconic Arsham motifs through the lens of poker."
The set will be encased in a custom aluminum case designed by Arsham Studio “embodying Arsham’s ‘future relic’ aesthetic.”
The set includes 350 poker chips, two decks of linen cards and a COA.
“The collaboration was an opportunity to push the boundaries of a traditional poker set,” Arsham said in a statement. “Through materials, texture, and form, I wanted each element to evoke a sense of refinement and permanence, a testament to the culture and energy of the poker world."
