The chess pieces are a reproduction of originally designed pieces by Bauhaus sculptor Josef Hartwig in the year 1923.

It transforms traditional chess pieces into geometric symbols, based purely on the function of the movement of each piece.

The designing was done keeping in mind the concept that the shapes and symbols of cubes, cylinders and balls should lead you move by move to checkmate.

The original Bauhaus design was sold in two versions, a “daily use” version and a hand-made “luxury” version.

This design is a reproduction of the Handmade Luxury Version.
