MOMA: MoMA Chess Set Panisa

Foldable wooden chess set designed by Panisa Khunprasert.

• This chess set features minimalist turned-wood chess pieces that evoke modern sculptures.
• Subtle details are employed to identify the various pieces: a diagonal slice on the oval-shaped Bishop suggests a liturgical headpiece; two deep grooves create castle turrets for the cylindrical Rook; the Knight’s arched lines follow the shape of a horse’s head.
• The foldable wooden chess board with magnetic closure is designed for easy storage of the pieces, which are contained in two cloth bags.
