Check-mate: Rolls-Royce reveals handmade chess set
Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Rolls-Royce Chess Set, a handcrafted masterpiece that offers a designer interpretation of the classic game. The creators intended this exquisite set to add a touch of grandeur to any match, reminiscent of the craftsmanship behind the renowned brand's automobiles. The board opens with a smooth motion, akin to the doors of a Rolls-Royce, revealing sculptural pieces with a ceramic finish, held in place by hidden magnets.
The board is available in four wood combinations with either glossy or matte finishes, and 13 leather color options allow for added personalization. Precision-milled aluminum frames the board, and the veneer squares are laser-cut from a single block to ensure a consistent texture pattern. Each piece features faceted edges and is topped with a polished stainless steel head, reminiscent in weight and feel of Rolls-Royce buttons. The black pieces have a matte finish, while the white pieces softly shimmer.
Spirit of Ecstasy emblems adorn the front and back of the set, with extra queens stored in discreet drawers. This elegant set is available for order in Rolls-Royce showrooms and private offices worldwide.
