Jonathan Cohen grew up in Venezuela with a grandfather who loved dominoes -- the tiles, the ritual, the way the game pulled people together around a table. He moved to Miami and carried that love with him, and eventually turned it into a brand. Luxe Dominoes was his answer to a question nobody had asked yet: why do we hide one of the world's great games in an ugly wooden box? Every set is handcrafted by Miami craftsmen from recyclable acrylic, designed to live on a coffee table and be played at it. Carried at Neiman Marcus. #ShowTheNoes.
Jonathan Cohen grew up in Venezuela with dominoes in his blood. His grandfather's passion for the game was the kind that gets passed down not just as a hobby but as a way of being -- the tiles, the ritual, the particular pleasure of a game that is simple to learn and endlessly social. When Jonathan moved to Miami and eventually found his way into the startup world, he brought that inheritance with him.
The frustration was simple and, once he said it out loud, obvious: dominoes have been played for centuries and packaged the same way for decades. Ugly wooden boxes. Closed lids. A game this beloved and this beautiful -- the tiles, the satisfying weight of them, the way they click against each other -- had never been given a home that matched. Jonathan set out to fix that.
Every Luxe Dominoes set is handcrafted by Miami craftsmen from recyclable acrylic, in colorways that range from clear and smoke to neon, mirror gold, and tortoiseshell. El Tigre takes the classic sliding-top box and makes it something you want to display. El Catire integrates four racks directly into the box. All sets come with jumbo tournament-size pieces and brass spinners -- because Luxe Dominoes doesn't just want these sets sitting on your coffee table. They want you to play them. Carried at Neiman Marcus and AnnSandra.
On a registry, Luxe Dominoes is the game night gift that never gets put away -- the set that lives on the coffee table, comes out when friends arrive, and carries a grandfather's love of the game into a brand new home.
