Dune Chess Set
London, United Kingdom

Rory Noble-Turner
Description:
Inspired by the sinuous slopes and restless ripples of our planet’s desert – the ‘Dune Chess Set’ attempts to capture sand in its purest, elemental form.
With their carefully sculpted surfaces, rival chess pieces offer a unique tactile experience for opponents, as their texture varies between rippled and smooth.
The board’s sloped silhouette creates an undulating landscape upon which pieces face-off from opposing hills; before descending into the battlefield below.
