the
STAUNTON SET
The traditional Staunton Chess set was designed by architect Nathaniel Cooke who took details from a number of different chess sets, however more interestingly took inspiration from classical architecture details which he saw in the city around him.
With this in mind, we thought it only fitting that we added a Staunton design into the Skyline collection, with our own contemporary aesthetic and materiality applied.
