2-in 1 Chess & draughts set – Tate Gallery
£70
Product description from their website:
Inspired by graphic art, this 2-in-1 chess and checkers set is the perfect games set for the whole family.
In pastel and primary colours, the board and pieces are all made from sustainably harvested rubberwood. Chess or draughts can be played using the counters on either side of the double-sided board, with two designs for variety. Red and blue dots replace the traditional black and white counters for checkers, and can be flipped over to reveal stylised stamps denoting the chess pieces. When you’re finished playing, the pieces stack inside the box and the board slides into the top to act as a beautifully decorated lid, ensuring you’ll want to keep the set in display when not in use.
This set was designed for MoMA (Museum of Modern Art, New York) by Panisa Khunprasert. Khunprasert is a toy and game designer who gained an MFA at The School of Visual Arts in New York before returning to Thailand to join her family toy business.
