Description from the seller
Chess set design Karim Rashid collector in its alutglas case and original box.
The pawns are streamlined with elegant design, in resin with a rubbery feel.
The chessboard is cut with orange and green tramlines circles.
This new interpretation of a classic chess game is designed by world-renowned artist/designer Karim Rashid. The softly luminous chess pieces are pleasant to the touch and are easy to store inside the beautifully crafted transparent acrylic chessboard.
Karim RashidKarim Rashid is a Canadian-American designer of Egyptian origin, born in Cairo on September 18, 1960. He was raised in England and Canada.
He set out for New York in 1993 and opened his own brand. A lover of acid colors, clean shapes, and innovative materials, many objects and places have passed through his hands. He reinvents everyday tools, restaurants, hotels, boutiques, and even a Naples subway station! Famous brands (Kenzo, Prada,...) trust him to imagine their product packaging. Karim Rashid quickly established himself as the designer of these past 50 years.
Chess, or the chess game, is a board game played by two players on a board called the “chessboard” consisting of sixty-four squares, 32 light and 32 dark squares (here orange and green). The players take turns moving one of their sixteen pieces, light for the White side, dark for the Black side. Each player starts with a king, a queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The goal of the game is to checkmate the opponent, a situation in which the opponent’s king is under attack with no possible remedy.
Rare and authentic chess set designed by Karim Rashid, from the BOZART Toys by Artists brand, in very good condition, showing a few rare marks.
