Inspired by the construction of old industrial buildings, Prague-based designer Daniel Skoták has created a chess set using concrete and iron. Dubbed Fortify, it consists of concrete chess pieces in shape of frustum, with differently-shaped wire figures on the top of each chess piece, representing their role in the game. The design is simple and clean, perfect for those who want to have a minimalist chess set in their collection.
All the chess pieces are recognized through the color of the metal wire figures. As of the chess board, the concrete surface serves as white squares while dim iron squares represent black blocks. The frustum-shaped concrete chess pieces with streamlined iron components add brutalist-inspired touch to the chess set.
