Adventurer
Three entrepreneurial brothers launched SILVA in 1935, and have been helping people enjoy the outdoors ever since. Their torches are designed for outdoor life and activities. British Travel Journal love the Explore series – waterproof head torches for sailing, kayaking, SUP and fly fishing, but also hiking and climbing, and the Scout series, simple head
torches for hiking, camping and dog walks. Among the running torches, their popular Trail Runner Free head torch is an excellent low weight and cordless design, giving a feeling of total freedom during a running session. There are also head torches designed specifically for orienteering, mountaineering, biking, skiing and more.

EFFORTLESS GLAMOUR
Luxury Leisure
Alexandra Llewellyn’s beautifully crafted, intricately detailed games turn play into something magnificent. Alexandra’s first encounter with backgammon was as a child in Cairo. In the city’s backstreets, she enjoyed her first games with an elderly local. Born in a completely different time and place, they were still
able to enjoy the game, and each other’s company, because backgammon requires no common language to understand. The wonderful universality of the game, which transcends cultures and generations, planted the seed for Alexandra to create her first handpainted backgammon boards.
Alluding to the importance of geometry to the game, the Geometrix Backgammon Set in Satin Walnut wood box features a recurring pattern ofshapesandsymbols,realisedinintricatewoodmarquetry.£13,500
