About
The Man Ray Chess Set showcases the artist's love for art through abstract, geometric chess pieces. Designed in 1920 by Man Ray, a pioneer of the Surrealist movement, the chess set features a knight inspired by a violin in his studio. The matching board was later devised by a specialty game manufacturer.
Each piece is CNC-milled from FSC-certified beech wood and carefully finished by hand. The board, also made of beech, is crafted and finished to complement the pieces. This authentic set is produced under license with the Man Ray Trust.
Key features include:
- Abstract, geometric chess pieces designed by Man Ray
- Pieces CNC-milled from FSC-certified beech wood
- Hand-finished pieces with clear lacquered and black painted finishes
- Matching beech wood board
- Wool felt pads on the base of each piece
- Produced under license with the Man Ray Trust
Made in Germany, the Man Ray Chess Set offers a unique and artistic take on a classic game. It arrives fully assembled and is covered by a one-year warranty.
