It is, without a doubt, the most thrilling present I have ever given my wife. Her tearful reaction said it all.
L.C, United Kingdom (BESPOKE client)
Heirlooms of the future, our games tell stories, hold memories and spark conversations. Offering unprecedented luxury and endless opportunities for fun, discover what sets an Alexandra Llewellyn creation apart.
Crafted using materials of peerless quality, Alexandra’s award-winning designs are canvases for meticulous marquetry, bewitching print and endless narratives. Designed in our Belgravia studio in London, every creation is beautifully considered, full of character and produced in very small quantities—a true limited edition.
Commissioning Alexandra to design a bespoke game is an opportunity to tell the story of a person’s life while delving deeper into the process and materials. A fun and inspiring process, undertaken in close conversation with the client, the result is something deeply personal and biographical.
We seek out only the most extraordinary, sustainable materials to work with, from a rare piece of partially fossilised Bog Oak to wonderfully knotty London Oak. With each new creation, the hunt begins anew for the veneers and woods with distinctive grains and patterns that will become the talking points in Alexandra’s next design.
Showcasing the skills of Britain’s finest artisans, we work with close to 20 specialist workshops across the UK. These include one of the world’s most respected marquetry artists and a master cabinet-maker. Handcrafted with great attention to detail, our backgammon boards and luxury games never leave our hands until Alexandra has given the final seal of approval.
Our online shop offers a multitude of possibilities for thoughtful personalisation. From initials and dates to private messages and family crests, tailor your gift by adding a laser engraving, semi–precious playing pieces — also engravable — or a resin doubling cube to your order.
