Description

This is a modern interpretation of the ancient game of chess by Brave New Lines. With soft tactile forms, it balances a moderate level of detail with well-rounded proportions. The pieces are naive interpretations of their origin, so people of all ages may connect intuitively with the character they represent on the board. The MDF board has a natural, toned-down presence, with muted contrast to make the pieces stand out.

The pieces are made from specific ratios of various waste plastics, including snus boxes, DVD covers, and frying oil canisters. All are collected, injection molded, and finished by hand in Trondheim.

About Brave New Lines Visit Showroom →

"Brave New Lines is a young design studio following unconventional trajectories in pursuit of meaningful additions to everyday life. We extract value from untapped potential, and create expressive, pragmatic objects with a clear-cut intent." Driven by a desire to reduce complexity and discover the obvious, Brave New Lines aspires to challenge established norms within the industry, by meeting todays needs of responsible production, effective transportation, and transparent value chains. As a preliminary exercise, our first products are all explorations on how to make use of standardized shelf material and abundant local timber. With this approach, we aim to engage local workshops by eliminating the need for specialized tooling, and to regain ownership and pride in local materials.
