Artist Taras Yoom Unveils Handcrafted Surrealist Backgammon Set
"Backgammon carries a raw energy - a fusion of risk, tempo, and thrill that flows into the player. Each decision blends strategy with emotion and the unpredictability of chance. This piece embodies that volatility and movement, tracing how fate unfolds with every roll,"
"I felt like an art and my passion for design began to conquer my soul, constantly allowing me to experiment and invent something new. From the very beginning,"
"I knew that it would be the continuous experiment with the visual functional"
A handcrafted backgammon set transforms play into performance art by turning game boards into sculptural objects and grouping pieces into "planets" with distinct personalities. A hyper-limited run of 21 boards pairs traditional gameplay with multiple fabrication methods: detailed 3D printing in photopolymer plastic, molding, sculpting, polymer casting, and hand paint detailing. Each set contains an NFC chip that certifies authenticity and records digital provenance. The case incorporates metal balls sliding within tracks as kinetic adornment. Dreamy pastels are balanced with bold orange and cobalt accents, while suggestive sword motifs evoke conflict without harshness, creating tactile and visual harmony.
