Our Contemporary Series is defined by stripping back all the detail to create bold, confident pieces that belie the ancient traditions of the game they represent.

Both sides are hand-polished to ensure a sharp finish, and are all weighted for absolute perfect balance, making them a joy to handle.

We have therefore matched these chessmen with the 45cm deluxe quality chessboard produced by reputable chess artisan Rechapados Ferrer of Spain. This board combines the highly fashionable and contemporary wenge wood veneer, which has a rich dark colour and a fascinating geometrically parallel grain, with beautiful light maple. The board is constructed to exacting dimensions and quality veneers with clean lines, giving it a lovely, pristine contemporary look.

Putting these two stunning components together results in a very modern-looking chess set. A clean, stylish and minimal design that will complement many modern furnished households. If you are looking for a modern chess set, then this contemporary design will work nicely with up-to-date interiors and a luxury modern feel.

You may wish to put your Contemporary chessmen away for safe storage whilst not in play, so take a look at our range of storage cases and should you need any assistance with choosing the right one for you, please feel free to contact us.
