This Hermann Ohme inspired chess set is based on the clean, minimalist mid-century pattern known for its rounded form, sleek profile, and balanced playing feel. It is a distinctive alternative to traditional Staunton chess pieces and works beautifully as both a playable set and a display collectible.
The chess pieces are handcrafted in golden rosewood and boxwood, giving the set a warm natural contrast. Each piece is specially weighted and finished with a felted base for stable movement across the board.
The set is paired with a 17" flat golden rosewood and maple wood chess board. The board is made using an inlay technique with smooth lacquered polish, rounded corners, and a felted underside for better stability.
