MANOPOULOS - SUEDE ROLL-UP TRAVEL CHESS SET

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
A chessboard printed on suede that rolls around its tube, with a full set of metal chessmen in antique brass and pewter finish — a serious travel set that weighs almost nothing.

THE CRAFT
Made in Thebes: the suede board is printed and sealed, and the metal pieces are cast and finished by hand in the Manopoulos foundry tradition.

IN THE BOX
Roll-up suede board and 32 metal chessmen.

SPECIFICATIONS
• Board: printed suede, 28 × 39 cm open
• Chessmen: metal, antique brass and pewter finish, 32 pieces

WHO THIS IS FOR
• Chess on the road
