The collection consists of 21 handcrafted sets, produced through a combination of advanced and traditional processes, including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/3d-printing\/\">3D printing<\/a><\/strong> with photopolymer <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/search-result\/?q=plastic+art#gsc.tab=0&amp;gsc.q=plastic%20art&amp;gsc.page=1\">plastic<\/a><\/strong>, molding, sculpting, polymer casting, manual finishing, and acrylic detailing. Materials range from acrylic and metals to plastics and silicone. Each piece is embedded with an NFC chip that certifies authenticity and records ownership.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/yoomoota.com\/\">Taras Yoom (Yoomoota)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Another Kingdom\u2019s pattern reflects the rhythm of play<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/yoomoota.com\/\">Artist<\/a><\/strong> Taras Yoom\u2019s\u00a0design reflects the structure of the game itself. The backgammon board serves as the focal point, with its inner pattern expressing the rhythm of play, while markings on the lid allude to the influence of randomness. The sculptural checkers are conceived as miniature artworks, following precise paths across the board yet subject to disruption with every roll of the dice.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A custom metal stand elevates the work into an independent interior object, balancing its functional role with its role as a collectible design piece. Through this synthesis of materiality, craftsmanship, and game mechanics, Another Kingdom underscores the dualities of order and chance that define both play and lived experience. The project will be available for pre-order online and is set to premiere at PAD London from October 14th to 19th, 2025.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the first backgammon set expands the Yoomoota collectible gaming line<\/p>\n<p>each of the 21 handcrafted sets combines 3D printing, molding, sculpting, and hand-finishing<\/p>\n<p>sculptural checkers act as miniature artworks in motion<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the board\u2019s inner pattern expresses the rhythm of play<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>every roll of the dice reshapes the game, rewriting the player\u2019s destiny<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>acrylic detailing adds precision and depth<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>backgammon is reimagined as a sculptural object<\/p>\n<p>production combines 3D printing, molding, and sculpting<\/p>\n<p>a custom metal stand elevates the work into an independent interior object<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Another Kingdom<\/p>\n<p><strong>designer<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/yoomoota.com\/\">Taras Yoom (Yoomoota)<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yoomoota\">@yoomoota<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/sculptural-backgammon-set-taras-yoom-game-structure-colors-patterns-another-kingdom-08-29-2025\/\">taras yoom\u2019s sculptural backgammon set reflects rhythm of play through colors and patterns<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taras Yoom designs a sculptural backgammon set \u00a0 Bangkok-based artist Taras Yoom introduces Another Kingdom, the first backgammon set in the Yoomoota gaming line.
