Indulge in luxury with the Special Edition New York Vs. Los Angeles Edition Skyline Chess Set, the perfect addition to your home. This edition showcases the unique architectural styles of both cities, evoking a sense of sophistication and exclusivity.

Inspired by Hollywood's rich musical history, the Capitol Records building stands tall as the rook, while the iconic Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel takes on the role of the knight. The beautiful Art Deco City Hall serves as the bishop, positioned next to the towering LA Bank Tower representing the queen. The modern essence of the City of Angels is captured by the Wilshire Grand Centre, symbolizing the king with its sleek design and glazed exteriors.

Experience the timeless allure of New York City with this exquisite chess set, featuring renowned landmarks such as the Guggenheim as the rook, the Flatiron Building as the knight, and the Chrysler Building as the bishop. The grandeur of the Empire State Building is embodied by the queen, while the king is symbolized by the poignant and impeccable One World Trade Tower.

Carefully selected materials create exquisite and unique pieces that will captivate both chess experts and design aficionados. Each of the 32 pieces is made of monochrome acrylic, a nod to the architectural world's concrete tones, while also allowing for a full appreciation of the form and details of each building. This set comes with a hand-screened wooden map and a presentation box, adding a touch of luxury. The pieces are heavy and feature soft felt bases, adding to their elegance.
