Description from the seller
Vuitton the exceptional chess set – Contemporary artistic creation – Limited edition of 30 copies – Pieces sculpted and hand-painted
This chess set is a functional work of art, conceived and crafted by Dominique Kleiner, a Norman artist, whose work explores the boundary between contemporary sculpture, a design object, and a timeless game.
Each piece was conceived entirely as an independent sculpture, with a thorough exploration of volumes, solids and voids. The artist deliberately worked with slender, perforated forms, evoking both classical architecture and a decidedly contemporary aesthetic.
Kings, queens, bishops, knights, rooks and pawns are not just utilitarian pieces:
they form a harmonious whole, where every silhouette communicates with the others, creating a fluid and elegant reading of the chessboard.
Artwork and coloring
The pieces are molded in resin, then hand-painted, one by one, in the artist's studio.
The color treatment was a deliberate choice:
a luminous golden finish for a camp,
a deep, warm bronze shade for the other.
This noble contrast creates a refined visual harmony, strengthened by subtle patinas that add depth and relief to the sculptures. Each piece displays slight variations, a signature of artisanal craftsmanship and a guarantee of authenticity.
The display, for its part, was designed like a jewel box: the graphic rigor of the panels interacts with the richness of the pieces, offering a perfect balance between sobriety and luxury.

Beyond its recreational function, this chess set possesses strong decorative and artistic value.
Presented on a table, a console, or in a display cabinet, it stands out as a central piece, capable of shaping an interior and asserting an elegant, contemporary atmosphere.
Each copy is produced in a strictly limited edition, placing this game in a collectible category. Its rarity, the quality of the materials and the artisanal work on each piece make it an object meant to stand the test of time, far beyond fleeting trends.
This is a creation conceived to be contemplated as much as it is played, where the chessboard becomes an artistic medium and the pieces real miniature sculptures.
Important information
This chess game is an independent work of art.
This is not an official product, nor an item licensed by a brand or a luxury house.
All aesthetic or graphic references are exclusively a matter of artistic choice.
