Description
A minimalist chess set that makes the beloved game even more satisfying, Panisa brings fun to every chess move. Designed by Panisa Khunprasert, whose work is influenced by her childhood and growing up in her family’s wooden toy business, the set is both playful and sculptural. The turned-wood chess pieces feature subtle detailing that give them distinct characters. For example, the Bishop boasts a diagonal slice; the Rook two deep grooves that recreate the turrets; and the Knight an arched shape reminiscent of a horse’s head.
