World Chess Set (Home Edition in Black and White)

The championship set made 20% smaller and twice as graphic. The pieces are the World Chess design in boxwood, a 7.9 cm king instead of the tournament 9.5, which is the size a dining table is happy with. The board is black and white, walnut veneer with the hexagon silk-printed on both sides, 45 cm across with 4.5 cm squares. Daniel Weil of Pentagram designed both; the pieces follow the pattern every World Championship since 2013 has been played with.

Black and white reads from across a room. It is the Home Edition for a modern interior; the Walnut and Bauhaus editions carry the same pieces on quieter boards.
