CHESS

Chess was invented in Asia about 1500 years ago, but it was in the XIII century that modern chess was born and implanted in Europe. The Chess Table is inspired by the chess board and the game’s most important move, the checkmate! The Chess Table depicts the ultimate play in which the Horse defeats the King, who metaphorically melts into a space that recreates a battlefield. These pieces were designed by Bessa and hand carved, showcasing a blend of minimalism, clean lines, and pure craftsmanship. This piece of art and design not only celebrates the game but also reflects geometric, decorative, and symmetrical elements, embodying the essence of contemporary art deco. Its bold design and extravagant details make it a truly glorious addition to any space, intertwining the history of vintage chess with modern opulent aesthetics.
