Nature at its most elegant

Symbolic of grace, joy and transformation, the butterfly is an enduring source of inspiration for Alexandra. Captured in eye-catching monochrome, these delicate creatures, which include Redspot Sawtooth, Black-Veined White and Apollo butterflies, are arranged in tapered rows, replacing some of the classic triangles on the board.

A very special collaboration

The first games designer to work with Net-a-Porter on a range of luxury board games, Alexandra has designed a collection of three butterfly-inspired designs for the leading British fashion e-tailer: this breathtaking photographic backgammon set, an intricate wood marquetry backgammon board and a portable travel set.

Exquisite detail and clarity

An exact reproduction of Alexandra’s original design, the butterfly artwork is printed on the board by a fine art printer using archival inks and hand-lacquered for a matte satin finish. Each delicate butterfly wing appears just as it does in nature, translated in shades of black and white for a strikingly modern statement.

Stylish chevron detailing

Dressed up in blue, the traditional triangles on the backgammon board are given a contemporary update, with chic chevron patterning introducing bursts of vibrant colour to the playing surface.

Precious additions

Designed to enhance your game, semi-precious playing pieces are a beautiful way to accessorise your Black and White Photographic Butterfly backgammon set. Alexandra recommends soothing turquoise and iridescent labradorite playing pieces, with personalisation of the pieces available.
