Hector Saxe x The Ethiquette
play differently
There are objects that tell a story even before a game begins. The backgammon set born from the collaboration between Hector Saxe and The Ethiquette is one of them.
Here, the approach is different. Where some collaborations focus on contrast or graphic boldness, this one explores the balance between elegance and subtlety.
The Ethiquette brings to the world of gaming a sensitivity derived from contemporary fashion and lifestyle: a particular attention to textures, materials and how an object fits into an interior.
Backgammon then becomes more than just a game.
It fits into an environment: placed on a coffee table, opened during a dinner with friends, or simply displayed as a beautiful object.
Materials play a central role. Fabrics interact with leather, metallic details highlight the lines of the case, and the whole creates a piece that seems both timeless and very current.
At Hector Saxe, games have always been conceived as objects that are kept for a long time.
With The Ethiquette, this idea takes on a new dimension: that of an object that accompanies moments, places and encounters.
Because, deep down, backgammon is perhaps one of the few games that so naturally transcends generations.
And when it is reinterpreted by two houses that share a taste for detail and beautiful things, it simply becomes another way to come together around a table.
