Awesome Jonathan Adler

You could spend $400 on the lacquered Jonathan Adler Sorrento Backgammon Set or save a bundle with his $25 cardboard lookalike that opens into a pair of cheery op-art game boards for backgammon and checkers. The designer’s 2-in-1 Travel Game Set has two handy drawers to store wood game pieces and dice.

Designer Jonathan Adler’s weighty display piece gets its inspiration from the manliest of symbols: classic round barbells. These ones are made from polished brass and have a compartment inside each of its weights, ideal for storing cufflinks, change, paperclips, or other small objects. Measures 12″ W x 5.75″ H x 3″ D.
