Why a Legacy set lasts a lifetime

The craftsmanship behind your set.

No moulded resin, no plastic: our pieces are carved from wood by cabinetmakers in a family workshop founded in 1996 near Lublin. A set made to last, guaranteed for 3 years.

Discover our workshops

European hardwoods

Hornbeam, beech, birch or maple depending on the model: dense woods, chosen for their grain and the way they last.

Hand-carved

The knight’s mane, the king’s crown: the details are carved by hand by cabinetmakers. No two pieces are ever quite identical.

Pyrography and inlay

The decoration on the board is burned in with heat and the squares are worked in contrasting woods, for a board that gains a patina over the years.

Around ten craftspeople

From raw wood to finished set, each set passes through the hands of around ten craftspeople: turning, carving, sanding and finishing.

Guaranteed for 3 years

A broken piece or a manufacturing defect? We will replace it. A set made to be handed down, not replaced.

What makes the difference: Magnetic pieces, 27 mm squares, Folding format.
