ELYSIAN TENTH EDITION
Target’s annual project that represents our vision for the future. The objective has remained the same for ten years; deliver an experience that transcends darts and challenges the construct of what a dart can be.
A unified effort from everyone within Target, Elysian is a platform from which we can creatively express our vision and create something truly beautiful.
Designating each new Elysian project with a theme allows us to explore unique and interesting subjects, pushing our creating expression and storytelling skills to new heights. We believe that a rich and layered narrative provides the foundation from which we can develop an honest creative response, drawing from a wealth of research material to deliver an original experience that resonates with our fans.
With this being the Tenth anniversary of the Elysian project, we wanted to examine a theme that represented the incredible journey this concept has been on. The cycle of creation that has brought new meaning to what a dart can be.
"I soar in space between beauty and task, while the sunflower evades its shadow til last, I lay down at the end on the shoulders of ten, and as the final fruit of flower falls, I will seed and be reborn again."

DISCOVER ELYSIAN
THE THEME OF 'NATURE'
The Elysian Tenth Edition darts draw inspiration from the timeless beauty of nature and the circle of life. Each phase of the cycle presents unique textures, colours, and patterns, capturing the essence of nature within a dart. The colour palette derives from dark and ominous tones, incorporating desaturated greens, rich blacks, and flashes of gold.
DEDICATED DESIGN
The Voronoi-inspired cut of the Elysian Tenth Edition derives from an examination of natural structures. These darts feature a series of intricate cuts in the 95% tungsten barrel, enhanced with precision milling, sandblasting, and a unique PVD coating.
UNIQUE GRIP
The barrel is re-machined to expose the natural tungsten finish and reveal the Voronoi design, with central rings re-machined to separate the cuts, adding to the dart's exquisite detail.
BESPOKE SWISS STORM POINTS
Target’s Swiss Point technology is incorporated into the steel tip darts set, with an exclusive Elysian-edition to mark the tenth edition of the Elysian dart collections. Utilising the patented locking system, Swiss Points allows dart players to switch dart points in seconds using the included Premium Elysian-Edition Swiss Point keyring tool, engineered from zinc alloy. Swiss Storm Points are designed to sit flush with the dart barrel, encompassing taper and thread technology to ensure the points remain locked-in, delivering precision and stability.
LIMITED EDITION K-FLEX
An exclusive amber-coloured K-Flex is included in the set, inspired by the colours of a sunflower. K-Flex is a highly durable, yet lightweight integrated flight and shaft system, created using a precision moulding process. The revolutionary integrated flight and shaft system continues to keep the flights at a 90-degree angle throughout their lifetime, guaranteeing a consistent game.
EXCLUSIVE SCULPTURE
The bespoke stand represents functional art. We believe that the Elysian deserves a bespoke stand that allows you to display your limited-edition darts in a captivating and unique way.
Our Tenth Edition stand is inspired by the concept of fragments coming together to form a complete structure, symbolising the start of life. Three pieces of CNC machined acrylic align and sit inside a zinc alloy base, which is finished with a silver coating and lasered with the Elysian dart identification.
PRESENTATION BOX
Our theme led us down many interesting paths to bring “Cycle” to life. Using the beauty of the sunflower to symbolise how something can be both ending and beginning. The detail within the sunflower shows that the seeds of the Elysian are spread wide and influence everything we do at Target. The sunflower then gave us the inspiration to use the unique amber K-Flex to contrast against the green of the barrel.
