Note globale du site
This set of contemporary-style chess pieces is defined by its commitment to reducing detail, creating bold pieces that break away from the classic Staunton style.
The ebonised boxwood of the darker pieces is hand polished to ensure a neat finish, while the lighter pieces are carved from calibrated boxwood. All pieces are, of course, weighted for a truly enjoyable playing experience.
With a king height of 9.5 cm and a base of 3.4 cm, chess boards with squares of 4.5 to 5 cm are best suited to these pieces.
Pieces sold separately.
Matching Guide
Choosing the right board size
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.

A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
