Skyline Chess Acrylic London Edition Chess Set with London Board
Skyline Chess Acrylic London Edition Chess Set with London BoardSKU.0505060635319026
A distinguished collector’s piece and an unforgettable gift for the chess fan, the Acrylic London Edition Chess Set from Skyline will be displayed with pride.
Terraced houses play the perfect pawns, Big Ben makes for a regal rook, the London Eye is cast as the knight, 30 St Mary Axe steps into the role of the bishop perfectly, whilst the Shard lends its elegance and might as the queen. When it comes to the Big Smoke, the stature and significance of Canary Wharf is the only building that can play king, and this piece stands at four and a half inches tall.
Each sculptural piece is cast from injection moulded acrylic in monochromatic architectural tones allowing the form and detail of each iconic London building to be truly appreciated.
The hand-printed London map chess board provides the perfect backdrop to your game.
Founded by two London-based architectural designers, Chris Prosser and Ian Flood, Skyline Chess takes iconic architecture from around the world and pits the greats against each other, bringing impeccable design and a unique take on this most loved game.
As flatmates, Chris and Ian would play chess in the evenings wondering what it would be like if they could design chess pieces in the form of buildings and create the architectural skylines of their dreams to compete in theoretical games, thus the concept of Skyline Chess was born.
Unequivocal ambassadors of craftsmanship, the quality of the materials used by Skyline Chess have been carefully selected and every detail meticulously considered. Each sculptural piece is cast using a combination of both modern production techniques and centuries old know-how.
The brand champions British design and manufacturing in their quest to redesign this Game of Kings.
