Luxury backgammon pieces turn every game into a tactile pleasure. I design our checkers to feel weighty in hand, glide smoothly across the board, and give a satisfying click as you move — all hallmarks of a well-made set.
At Forwood Design we use high-quality leathers in contrasting tones (typically white and black) with a stainless-steel rim. The leather protects playing surfaces while the metal adds long-term durability and a refined edge.
Every piece is carefully proportioned to match our boards — from Tournament boards to compact Travel sets. Standard sets commonly use pieces near 38 mm diameter; competition-style sets use larger 50 mm discs for a bolder presence and different play feel.
Good pieces are about balance: comfort, consistent roll, and visual harmony with the board. Our goal is simple — combine craftsmanship and utility so the pieces feel as at-home in a living room as they do in a serious match.
