DESCRIPTION:
Flaÿou’s checkers set features original designs with strong Berber influences that complement the shape and style of the traditional pottery of the Sejnane region, where local artisans have worked with clay for more than 3,000 years. Each board and its pieces are crafted entirely by hand, from the extraction of local clay to the shaping, outdoor firing and coloring using all natural materials like red ochre and mastic tree juice. Each game arrives in a pizza box along with a notebook about the collection, and bags for the pieces.
Created by Hella El Khiari and Thomas Egoumenides, Flaÿou is a Tunis-based integrative design studio that works in object, graphic and environmental design. Chich-Bich, which means backgammon in Tunisian Arabic, is Flaÿou’s collection of playful board games inspired by Egoumenides’ love of backgammon and the traditional pottery of the Sejnane region, where local artisans have worked with clay for more than 3,000 years.
