The Los Angeles Edition - Skyline Chess Set

Los Angeles is a hub of diverse architectural styles, offering something for every taste, and this edition reflects that. Inspired by the rich musical history of Hollywood, the Capitol Records building stands as the rook, while the legendary Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel takes the role of the knight. City Hall, a beautiful representation of the Art Deco era, serves as the bishop, positioned next to the city's second tallest building, the LA Bank Tower, representing the Queen. The modern essence of the City of Angels is embodied by the Wilshire Grand Centre, symbolizing the King with its stunning, sculptural design and sleek glazed exteriors.

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.
