New York vs. Los Angeles Skyline Chess Set

Reimagine the way you play chess with the New York vs. Los Angeles Skyline Chess Set. London designers Ian Flood and Chris Prossner have reimagined the chess set by taking the classic game pieces and replacing them with miniature renditions of famous New York and Los Angeles buildings. A range of some of the most recognizable building silhouettes from both cities make up the pieces in this set. The New York side features the One World Trade Center as the King with the Empire State Building as its queen. The Flatiron Building portrays the Knight, with the Guggenheim as the Rook. A row of Brownstone houses stand as the pawns. The Los Angeles side features the Wilshire Grand as the King with the LA Bank Tower as its queen. The City Hall building portrays the Bishop, the Santa Monica Pacific Wheel is the Knight, and the Capitol Records building is the Rook. 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 creation for someone looking for a unique piece of British design. Each set comes complete with a hand-printed wooden board and presentation box.
