The art of play

Made to be played.
Made to be seen.

A game can be more than an object on a table. It can be sculpture. Furniture. Illustration. Craft. A meeting point between artist and player.

Our philosophy
The grain, leather and geometry of a backgammon board

“Play is a serious art.”

Materials matter

Wood. Stone. Metal.
Leather. Paper.

Materials are not decoration. They define how an object feels, ages, sounds and plays. We value their character as much as their performance.
