Michael Graves Designed CHESS Set Wood Board Resin Pieces Checkers Good Cond.

Description: Michael Graves Designed CHESS Set Wood Board Resin Pieces Checkers Good Cond. This post-Modern chess and checkers set (circa 2000) is designed by famed architect, Michael Graves. The bottom of the chess board is marked with the Graves tag. Each chess piece is signed "Graves" on the bottom of the felt. Features uniquely styled resin chess and checkers pieces in faux ebony and faux ivory. This complete chess set includes a wood storage box that converts into a wood chess board 16.5 inches wide x 2.75 inches in height. The black and white resin pieces are all in very good condition, including the felt bottoms. This set also features black and white resin checkers. The original instruction book is included. It was Graves’ own idea to design new versions of classic board games for Target, beginning in 2000 with the most iconic of them all: chess. According to Phil Patton, author of Michael Graves Designs: The Art of the Everyday Object, Graves had been eager to try to improve upon the utopian abstraction of Josef Hartwig’s famous Bauhaus Chess Set, which utilized a series of rigid geometric shapes that represent each piece’s respective moves on the board. Like Hartwig before him, Graves also sought out a geometric foundation for his design, but one with a decidedly more organic quality that also functioned as the thematic basis for his first line of products at Target - the egg. The largest piece, the King, mesures 2.75" tall by 1.5" wide. The smallest piece, the Pawn, measures 1" tall by .75" wide. The felt on the bottom of all pieces are in tact and in good, clean condition. The chess board is in very good condition. However, the outside of the box has a few chipped pieces veneer (see close-up pictures).
