Inspired by ancient Greek architecture, this set of chess by Finnish designer Krisztian Griz tries to break free of the usual forms and shapes of traditional chessboards. The ancient game of chess, which dates back to the 6th century, is one of the most famous games known to man. The chess set measures 14.625″ long x 4.125″ high and comes with a box for safe and easy storage as well as transportation of the precious pieces. Comprising 32 lead-free pewter playing pieces, finished in 24k gold or sterling silver or even hand-painted, with recycled glass ball feet, the eco-friendly chess set is carved out of certified sustainable North American hardwoods (walnut and maple) which is adorned with a gold-plated Laelia xanthina orchid border.īringing luxury and sustainability together, which we don’t see go hand in hand too often, the evocative chess set not only presents a pleasing option for the lovers of the classic game of chess but also creates awareness about the endangered birds by depicting them in its pieces and border. This is perhaps what the Grant Dawson Collections, designer of the Endangered Parrots of the World Chess Set, seems to illustrate to the world. If you’re concerned about wildlife and intend to play your part in its conservation, you don’t just have to be a chivalrous campaigner of a wildlife program or part of a big wildlife protection organization. Here is a collection of some of the most unusual and interesting chess set designs we’ve come across. If you’re a chess fan, you would probably love to play the game on a unique chess set. While it’s one thing to play chess with the regular pieces, it’s an entirely different experience with something-themed chess sets.
It might sound superfluous to many, but true lovers of the game would know how cool it is. Depending upon your perception of the game you can give your singular touch to your work of art. There’s no better way to pay homage to a game than creating chess set that shows your love. Therefore, it is no wonder that product designers from all across the world come up every year with many innovative chess set designs. Both of these require immense focus and a sense of harmony. Both chess and product design have two things similar.
