OUR STORY
Built Around theFourth Chair.
AFTER FOUR began with a simple belief: the best part of American Mah Jongg is not only the game, but the time it makes room for—familiar faces, shared rituals and one more hand together.
01 · WHY AFTER FOUR
The Fourth Chair
Changes Everything.
American Mah Jongg begins when four people take their seats. The fourth chair turns a plan into a table, and a table into time shared.
The name AFTER FOUR holds that moment, as well as the hours after four—when the workday softens, dinner lingers and there is room for another hand.
02 · THE FOUNDING COLLECTION
Seven Ways to Begin.
Our first collection brings together seven American Mah Jongg tile sets, each with its own color story—from soft botanicals and coastal shades to richer evening tones. Different in character, each is chosen for the same purpose: to make the table feel considered and ready to gather.
MEET THE SEVEN DESIGNS03 · THE DETAILS AROUND THE TABLE
A More Considered Game Night.
A good setup should feel effortless. Racks, pushers, playing surfaces and the smaller details around the table should make play more comfortable without making the evening feel complicated.
COMFORT IN THE DETAILS
Racks, Pushers and Room to Play
The pieces around the tiles should make setup smoother, movement easier and long games more comfortable.
COLOR AT THE TABLE
Color Sets the Tone.
Color can shift the feeling of the whole evening—from quiet and coastal to bright, playful and ready to gather.
04 · ONE MORE HAND
A Little More Time Together.
The best game nights often end with the same question: one more? That extra hand is rarely only about the game. It is another story finished, another laugh shared and a little more time before everyone heads home.
05 · OUR POINT OF VIEW
Beautiful to Live With.
Easy to Play.
A considered table should never feel complicated. We value readable tiles, comfortable proportions, practical details and color that brings warmth to the room. The details matter because they make it easier to settle in, play comfortably and stay awhile.
