T here are those who enjoy a game, and there are those who understand that there is magic in play. Whether you want to commission a custom game board with your business branding, or commemorate a special event with playing cards or a bespoke chess set, you can see your vision come to stunningly beautiful, highly original, multi- dimensional life – thanks to Alexandra Llewellyn’s creations. Since 2010, Alexandra Llewellyn has made an art of games. Inspired by playing backgammon with an elderly local in the backstreets of Cairo, Alexandra has long been enchanted by the inherent poetry of proportion of the board – and her training as a fine artist led Alexandra to apply her expertise to a medium she has loved since childhood. Now, from her famed bespoke backgammon boards to her exquisite wood marquetry poker sets, Alexandra’s work turns play into something magnificent for you, your clients and business, or your family and friends. Designed by Alexandra in London before being handmade in the UK by specialist artisans, collaborating with Alexandra on a custom-made design is your opportunity to create a truly original objet d’art that expresses your brand or tells your family story, to be enjoyed for generations to come, becoming an heirloom of the future.
