Born out of a love of architecture and chess, Skyline Chess re-imagines some of the world's most iconic buildings as chess pieces and brings them to life on the chess board.
In the London set, pawns are terraced houses, Big Ben is the Rook, with the London Eye playing the Knight. The Gherkin is cast as the Bishop, and the Shard lends its elegance and might to the role of the Queen. No other building than Canary Wharf would be better suited to play the King, and this piece stands at four and half inches tall.
They have selected the highest quality materials to create beautiful and unique objects for both the chess player and design enthusiast alike. The 32-piece set is cast in injection moulded acrylic. Each piece is double weighted and has a soft felt base.
Finished in classic black and white, this stunning set is the perfect product for someone looking for a unique piece of British design.
Each set comes complete with a folding board and presentation box.
