MoMA Panisa Wooden Chess Set

This MoMA Panisa Wooden Chess Set designed by Panisa Khunprasert features minimalist turned-wood chess pieces that evoke modern sculpture. Subtle details are employed to identify the various pieces: a diagonal slice on the oval-shaped Bishop suggests a liturgical headpiece; two deep grooves create castle turrets for the cylindrical Rook; the Knight’s arched lines follow the shape of a horse’s head. The foldable wooden chess board with magnetic closure is designed for easy storage of the pieces, which are contained in two cloth bags. Made of sustainably grown rubberwood.

The board measures (open) 15.75" Wide x 15.75" Deep x 2.5" Height, and (closed) 15.75" Wide x 7.8" Deep x 5" Height. Recommended for ages 8+.
