Objects The Chase: Summer Table Top Backgammon, by Alexandra Llewellyn

£3,900

British artist Alexandra Llewellyn has been turning play into an art form since 2010, crafting beautiful backgammon boards, poker sets and custom board games that tell a story. One of her latest, The Chase: Summer Table Top Backgammon, adds a streak of tension to the game. A swimmer is chased by a shark across the printed leather board, which is encased in sustainable walnut wood. It comes with Burgundy calf leather dice shakers and a transparent resin doubling cube with a burst of blue pigment suspended inside to up the ante. The lid becomes a drinks tray when the action finishes, so you can toast your success.
