MANOPOULOS - BAUHAUS CHESS SET WITH VEGAN LEATHER CHESSBOARD

HANDCRAFTED IN GREECE
Manopoulos has made games in Greece since 1970 — from Costas Manopoulos’s first bronze chess pieces to today’s workshop in Thebes, where every board is still cut, veneered and finished by hand. This piece comes to Canada exclusively through El Laguito Cigars.

THE DESIGN
Geometric Bauhaus-style chessmen in wood, matched to a vegan-leather chessboard on the lid of a 40 cm wooden case — the board in white with black, turquoise, terracotta or olive green.

THE CRAFT
The vegan-leather field is cut and fitted by hand in Thebes; the chessmen are turned and lacquered to match the board colour.

IN THE BOX
Chessboard case and 32 Bauhaus-style wooden chessmen.
