NYC Skyline Chess Set - Stainless Steel/Wood Map Board

Reimagine the way you play chess with the NYC Skyline Chess Set - Stainless Steel/Wood Map Board. 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 buildings. A range of buildings from across the city, some of which capture the essence of the early 1900’s construction boom and the growth of skyscraper architecture, through to their more contemporary counterparts, along with some of the city’s most recognizable silhouettes make up the set. The One World Trade Center is 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 32-piece set is hand-cast in solid Stainless Steel. Featuring heavyweight pieces with soft felt bases, 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 map board and presentation box.
