Three ways to own it

Begin with a presentation, keep it for a lifetime.

Paper, Collector and Heirloom share one design language, with different ways of keeping and recording a set. Every collection can be taken in any of the three.

01

Paper Box Set

The game, simply kept. A straightforward paper-box presentation, with your chosen wood-grain collection at its heart.

US / Chinese edition 160 / 144

02

Collector Box Set

A considered place to keep the game. The collection in a dedicated presentation box: made for the ritual of opening, playing and putting away.

US / Chinese edition 165 / 160

Awaiting confirmationReplacement and blank tiles form part of every configuration. The detailed breakdown by tile type is awaiting confirmation, so no split has been assumed.

Material story

Feels like wood. Ages like nothing that came before it.

TeakTouch tiles are made from an engineered wood-grain material: dense enough to carry the weight of a real tile, warm enough to keep in the hand, and stable enough to survive the room it lives in.

The collection names describe colour directions. They are not a claim about natural wood content, and every set is made from the same engineered material.

The warmth of wood. None of the cracking.

Built for humidity, temperature swings and decades of Tuesday nights at the same table.

Weight in the hand.

Dense enough to feel like a tile you would pass down, not a piece you would replace.

From raw material to a registered set.

Raw material

An engineered wood-grain material chosen for stability under heat and humidity.

Tile and edge

Each tile is formed and finished so the grain reads across the face and the edge.

Not published yetProduction tolerances, tile splits and finish specifications are still being confirmed. Nothing is published here as a figure until it is signed off.

The Wood Library

Four woods. One library, still growing.

Each collection is a colour direction, matched tile to tile across a full set. Only Golden Hour is available today; the rest are shown with their real status, not a release date we have not committed to.

01 Available now

Golden Hour

Teak · Available now

Warm gold, late in the day. Our original grain — the one every other wood is measured against.

  • The heaviest-reading of our woods in the hand
  • Hides a room's wear best
  • Our original grain, and the reference for the rest

02 Next release

Sundial

Bamboo · Next release

Sun-dried yellow, dry and bright. A lighter table for a lighter room.

  • Cooler than Golden Hour, brighter across a table
  • Colour taken from bamboo that has spent a season in the light
  • The hardest to match — aged bamboo is notoriously uneven

03 In development

Midnight

Ebony · In development

Near-black and formal. The quietest grain we are working on.

  • Grain visible only when light catches it at an angle
  • The most formal set we have attempted
  • A grain this dark shows every imperfection, so the finish is the whole problem

04 Concept

First Light

Bamboo & bone · Concept

Two tones in one tile — pale bone over bamboo, the way the old sets were made.

  • A deliberate nod to the classic bamboo-and-bone sets
  • Working out how to make the joint in a single engineered tile rather than two glued pieces
  • That joint is why it is still a concept and not a product

About the namesSeries names describe colour directions, not natural wood content. Every set is engineered grain, made to be played with.

Heirloom Registry

One number. One set. A record that stays with it.

The Heirloom Set is the only tier that carries a number. Each tile is photographed and grain-matched before it ships, and the set is registered to you — so a table bought once can be handed on with everything it knows.

Claim your received set

Claim the number on your box with its private credential. The existing factory record for that set is matched to you once: this is a claim, not a new registration, and no number is chosen before the set arrives.

Keep the grain record

On Heirloom Sets, every tile is photographed and grain-matched before the set leaves. Those images stay filed against that number — the fingerprint of that particular set. Paper and Collector sets are matched but not recorded tile by tile.

Warranty & service

Warranty terms, exclusions and replacement conditions are still awaiting approval and are not stated here. The number does give a record: support can match a set back to the grain it was cut from.

Transfer ownership

When a set changes hands, the number goes with it. A transfer is reviewed before the record is updated, and the ownership timeline is kept — a sale is never instant or automatic.

What comes with the table

Sold once, looked after by number.

Four things we hold to, on every set that leaves the workshop.

Numbered releases

Heirloom is the only tier that carries a number, and it is released in numbered runs — never as a generic set.
