Bauhaus Chess Set
This chess set design is the embodiment of the entire Bauhaus style dating back to 1923. The essence of this set is its simplicity. The individual pieces are sculpted as an abstraction of their movement on the board, radically different from what had previously characterized the design of chess pieces. This design is composed of the most basic geometric forms. And the form of each figure is subject to its function, making it both beautiful and eminently playable. The pieces harmonize perfectly with the simplicity and elegance of the playing surface. Both the pieces and board are expertly crafted from hard maple and wengue to the most exacting tolerances. This set truly exemplifies utility art. It can provide both the centerpiece and the punctuation of any room that houses it.
