Minimalist Monolithic Chess Sets

This Chess Set by Tarek Elkassouf Merges Materials

This minimalist chess set has been designed by Tarek Elkassouf as a minimalist take on the classic board game that would work to provide players with a truly elegant option to incorporate into their collection. The chess set is characterized by its high-end material construction that consists of Carrara marble for the board along with brushed stainless steel pieces that are finished with gunmetal reflective tops. Each of the pieces thus maintain a monolithic construction that are made discernible from one another thanks to etched logos and height variances.

The minimalist chess set embraces the concepts of accessibility as well as intersectionality when it comes to the age-old pastime given that anyone can enjoy the competitiveness of a good game no matter their socioeconomic standing.
