Description from the seller
Designer Karim Rashid collector chess set in its altuglass case and original box.
The pawns are sleek with an elegant design, made of resin with a rubbery feel.
The chessboard is cut from orange and green traced 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 fit easily inside the beautifully designed transparent acrylic chessboard.
Karim Rashid
Karim Rashid is a Canadian-American designer of Egyptian origin, born in Cairo on September 18, 1960. He was raised in England and Canada.
He moved to New York in 1993 and opened his own brand. A proponent of vivid colors, clean shapes, and innovative materials, many objects and places have passed through his hands. He reinvents everyday tools, restaurants, hotels, shops, and even a Naples metro station!
Famous brands (Kenzo, Prada,...) trust him to imagine the packaging of their product.
Karim Rashid quickly established himself as one of the designers of the last 50 years.
Chess, or the chess game, is a board game for two players facing each other across a board called the “chessboard” composed of sixty-four squares, 32 light and 32 dark squares (here orange and green).
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 deliver checkmate to the opponent, a situation in which a player's king is in check and there is no possible way to remedy it.
Rare and authentic chess set designed by Karim Rashid, from the BOZART Toys by Artists brand, in very good condition, showing a few rare signs.
