The set that started Junce, named for the sharpest player of the modern game. Thirty-two faceted, weighted pieces in matte black and white, or wood and cream, on a 34 cm solid wood board with a walnut edge. Designed in London by an industrial designer as a birthday present, and still made to that design today.

It is built to be left out. The low, sculptural pieces read as an object on a coffee table or a desk, and the weighted bases mean it plays as well as it looks.

What is in the box

  • Solid wood board, 34 x 34 cm
  • 32 weighted, felted pieces (16 black, 16 white, or 16 wood and 16 cream)
  • Rigid Junce gift box

Materials and making

Designed in London by industrial designer Gizem and made in our own workshop in Turkey. The 32 pieces are cast in weighted polyester resin from Gizem's original moulds, then hand-finished and felted; the board is solid wood with a walnut-toned edge, cut and finished by us. Every set is checked and packed in the UK before it ships. We started with 3D printing to develop the shapes and moved to casting for weight and durability. Small variations in finish are part of a hand-finished object.

  • Board: 34 cm x 34 cm (13.4 in), squares 4 cm
