Regalia Chess Set

project overview
Regalia is inspired by a fascination with objects that blend utility and artistry, resulting in a reimagined traditional chess set. This project goes beyond mere aesthetic modernization, aiming to redefine the game’s tactile presence and emotional significance. Each piece, crafted from a combination of cold-forged metal and warm saddle leather, is designed to transform the chess experience from a purely mental exercise into a rich sensory interaction. Regalia is made to age gracefully, serving as a collectible sculpture that deserves a permanent place on the table rather than being hidden away in a drawer.
