- Unique Properties
- This chess table is a one-of-a-kind piece that takes inspiration from the late industrial revolution era. It features an asymmetrical design made up of aluminum elements that support two oval glass tops. The topmost glass serves as the playing surface for chess while the lower one can hold beverages or other items. The table has a shiny and intricate appearance, with a complex base consisting of two vertical shafts connected by horizontal extensions. The main shaft has four subsystems with four arms extending from a ring to support the glass top and three stabilizing legs at the bottom. An extension from the middle of the main shaft runs to a lean shaft that functions as a fourth leg and supports the second glass top. The table combines form and function in a sophisticated and stylish way, making it a unique piece of furniture.

The aesthetics elegantly combine the art of war, and chess-playing with the rough exposure system to generate a sublime experience for the players.
