Lux Afrique 2025

On Saturday, 26th July 2025, we had the honour of presenting the limited-edition Neochess x Tunde Onakoya chess set at the prestigious Lux Afrique Polo Day, held at the Hurtwood Park Polo Club in Surrey.

This annual celebration of African luxury, elegance, and culture brought together thought leaders, creatives, and change makers from across the continent and beyond, and we were proud to be part of it.

A Collaboration Rooted in Purpose

The Neochess x Tunde Onakoya edition was born from a meaningful partnership with Tunde Onakoya, the founder of Chess in Slums Africa. Chess in Slums is a non-profit organisation that harnesses the power of chess to empower children from underserved communities in Nigeria by providing access to education, mentorship, and life-changing opportunities.

This special edition chess with a story of resilience and hope. Each piece symbolises strategy not just on the board, but in life.

Support the cause

Proceeds from every set sold directly support the foundation, helping to fund programmes that teach critical thinking, literacy, and leadership skills to children living in some of the most marginalised communities.

We’re honoured to be part of this meaningful project, and we want to thank Tunde for his inspiring journey and unwavering commitment.
