One of the world’s oldest games, backgammon, has travelled across countries, cultures and generations for thousands of years. Backgammon boards have long been as much expressions of craftsmanship and design as they are objects of entertainment.

Kodai Studio continues that journey. We love playing backgammon and wanted a board that could come with us, rolled up in a suitcase, tucked into a beach bag, carried to a picnic or a friend’s house, ready to be unrolled wherever a game might begin. So we made our own, celebrating the beauty and spontaneity of play.

Art is at the heart of Kodai Studio. Every board begins as an original hand-drawn design, transforming the familiar geometry of the game through colour, pattern and embroidery. Individually handcrafted in Wiltshire, UK, each board brings together artwork and craftsmanship to create something distinctive and full of character.

Made to travel, play and live with, Kodai Studio boards make thoughtful and unexpected gifts, beautiful to give and a joy to receive.
