The new 'Rolls-Royce Chess Set' is an opulent design that extends on the brand's philosophy of fusing innovation with heritage. The set is theatrical as it opens up in a single fluid motion, which mirrors the brand's iconic coach doors. This unveiling sets the tone as it immediately starts with a performance.
The holder is lined with leather and elevates to present the magnetic pieces. The sense transforms a game setup into a collectible as it rises from the center and creates the illusion that the board is floating over the slim footprint. The waft lines also nod to the motor calls and create a connection between the chess set and premium cars which inspired it.
