NEOCHESS x TUNDE ONAKOYA
"It is possible to do great things from a small place"
We're proud to announce a new and meaningful collaboration through our sister brand Neochess with Tunde Onakoya, a renowned chess advocate and founder of Chess in Slums Africa. This partnership has led to the creation of the Tunde Onakoya Edition chess sets, available in three stunning variations: Wood, Steel, and Bronze.
Each set is accompanied by a hand screen-printed playing board inspired by traditional Adire fabric patterns, reflecting the cultural heritage and story of Tunde’s journey from Lagos, Nigeria. This limited-edition chess set is designed to inspire and empower children from underserved communities across Africa.
