Bespoke Backgammon
Anything bespoke or customized gives us a thrill. It generally means craftsmanship, or at least intelligent and innovative use of new technologies, and very often also represents a true passion for individual quality and a deep respect for materials, form and design. Just the way we like it and just the way we everyday try get the job done ourselves.
That’s why we are devotees of the backgammon boards handcrafted by our friend
Alexandra Llewellyn from London. And then of course especially of her
bespoke backgammon boards.
Alexandra has a true love for materials and design. Her backgammon boards are created from wood that replicates the sound and feel of this ancient game from the Middle East. She harmonizes perfect geometry for play with visually stunning, hand crafted and painted pieces.
For her bespoke backgammon boards Alexandra intensively consults with a client to create an individual beautifully crafted, highly personal art object that more or less is a unique portrait of the client’s life. A one-of-a-kind backgammon board composed of the secrets, symbols and significant events of a singular life.
Such a bespoke backgammon board is a heirloom for generations to come. A wonderful and warm piece of art where friends and family members meet to reflect and play. Not cheap, but who wants something transient such as an Xbox or PlayStation when the true game is within reach!
