PRESTIGE SKY BLUE CHESS SET

This prestige chess set has a board made of clear and satin cubes resting on a thermal powder coated aluminum base. Each cube is strategically mirrored to create the optical illusion of a levitating set. Clear and sky blue crystal pieces face each other. Each has a design based on the way it moves from square to square.

• The king and queen both borrow their shape from the 1586 Twist collection’s decanter stopper, one upside down, the other right side up. They are each adorned with bevels, their tops evoking crowns. The queen’s plinth is flared, making it easy to move in any direction. The king’s is rounded, which is ideal for a calculated move to a specific square. The king is slightly taller than the queen so one can tell them apart.
• The bishop has taken on the shape of the Botticelli stopper It spins around and seems to stagger, like he tends to do as he travels on the board diagonally.
• The rook massive and impregnable, is carved in the part of the stopper that keeps a decanter airtight. Its large cylindrical base is ideal for travelling the board in one straight line.
• The pawn the most sacrificed piece, is a reinterpretation of the Amadeus stopper designed in memory of the Templar’s helm.
• Finally, the knight stands out from the rest with its smooth, uncluttered appearance. Its lively and natural appearance befits the intensity of its role. Indeed, it is the knight who leads the battle, with an L shaped movement.
