The story

Every board a canvas.

Alexandra Llewellyn launched her eponymous games brand in London in 2010. Her love of backgammon began as a child in Cairo, and she trained as a fine artist and worked in product development before founding the brand.

The house makes backgammon boards, chess sets, poker sets, playing card boxes and games tables, and each board is treated as a canvas for marquetry, hand painting and print. Leather is used for playing surfaces and playing pieces, and the house seeks out sustainably sourced materials.

“A true limited edition.”Alexandra Llewellyn

Alexandra designs from her studio in Belgravia, sketching each new design by hand, and the pieces are made with specialist British craftspeople across several craft workshops. She also takes bespoke commissions for private clients and luxury brands.
