These Elevated Game Sets Belong in Your Games Night
Your favourite luxury maisons are bringing their design codes to the games cupboard, giving classic games a decidedly fashionable upgrade.
Think of your favourite brands and you will probably recall their iconic offerings: Louis Vuitton’s trunks, Chanel’s classic Flaps, Rimowa’s aluminium luggage. But hold that thought, because these maisons offer far more than their signature icons — and some of them may just belong in your games cupboard.
A perusal of their home decor and design collections reveals more than the usual suspects, with game sets among the unexpected finds. Think classic games with a luxury upgrade. Your game nights are about to get a whole lot better.
Dartboard Case by Rimowa
Rimowa does it again, this time taking its signature aluminium construction to the dartboard. Created in collaboration with professional darts equipment manufacturer Winmau, the set is unmistakably Rimowa, with its grooved, anodised aluminium shell. The double-door construction opens to reveal the dartboard within, reimagining the traditional wall-mounted darts cabinet in a form that can be taken on the go. It is a fitting example of how Rimowa can take something familiar and make it feel distinctly its own, without losing sight of what made the original so enjoyable.
Chess Box by Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton making a portable chess box makes perfect sense, particularly when you consider the maison’s heritage in trunk-making. Clad in the signature Monogram canvas, it comes with cowhide-leather trim and gold-tone hardware. The carved game pieces in walnut and maple reinterpret the maison’s Monogram Flowers, complete with a foldable leather gameboard. Reserve your mental gymnastics for the game — deciding whether to add this to your collection is probably much easier.
Large Embroidered Backgammon by Dior
Dior brings its signature Oblique motif to the backgammon board, covering its embroidered façade in the house’s recognisable pattern and finishing it with cowhide-leather trim. Matching Oblique canvas dice shakers and playing pieces engraved with Dior’s lucky gold-tone star add further touches of the maison’s heritage.
There is something particularly fitting about Dior turning backgammon into a luxury object. The game has long carried associations with leisurely afternoons and old-world glamour, and here, the maison leans into that heritage while giving it a distinctly contemporary polish. The result strikes a balance between tradition and playfulness — and if you already love the game, why not Dior it up?
Jenga Set by Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta and Jenga is a combination you could hardly anticipate, yet will probably adore. Spot the Intreccio weave and there is no mistaking that it is Bottega Veneta. It makes perfect sense to incorporate the maison’s signature motif into the calfskin-leather casing, with the pattern echoing the stacked blocks of the game.
The blocks are crafted from natural walnut and coloured wood, with Bottega Veneta and Jenga engraved into them for a playful finishing touch. It is a simple game elevated through the kind of thoughtful detailing that makes the set feel unmistakably Bottega Veneta.
Saffiano Leather Backgammon Set by Prada
Prada’s take on backgammon proves that minimalism can be just as sexy. The box is crafted from the brand’s signature textured Saffiano leather, presented in shades of red, black and white. The restraint is unmistakably Prada. Playing pieces rendered in metal add a cool, tactile touch, elevating the playing experience while staying true to the brand’s minimalist aesthetic.
