Re-Edition des Ensembles bestehend aus Schachfiguren und Tisch

Isamu Noguchi (1904 - 1988) entwickelte dieses Ensemble 1944 für die Ausstellung «Imagery of Chess» in der Julien Levy Gallery in New York. Julien Levy hatte die Ausstellung zusammen mit Marcel Duchamp und Max Ernst kuratiert.

Die Neuauflage ist in einer Kooperation von Ameico, IC Design und der Isamu Noguchi Foundation entstanden, während die Produktionsentwicklung und Herstellung von tät-tat übernommen wurde.

Noguchi verband seine künstlerische Leidenschaft mit einem tiefen Respekt für die Geschichte und Traditionen der östlichen, wie auch der westlichen Kulturen. Besonders angetan hatten es ihm historische indische und persische Schachformen. Verstärkt wurde dies wohl durch seine Liebesbeziehung mit Tara Pandit, der Nichte des indischen Premierministers Jawaharlal Nehru. Anstelle der üblichen weissen und schwarzen Figuren und Bretter des Westens, kopierte Noguchi indische schwarze Lackbretter mit kreisförmigen Einsätzen. Seine Figuren fertigte er in durchscheinendem Rot und Grün an, was an die Rubine und Smaragde erinnert, die die legendären Schachfiguren der frühen indischen Rajahs schmückten. Alle Figuren bis auf den Turm haben kopfartige Formen und gewölbte Stacheln.

Der Mangel an hochwertigen Materialien während des Krieges begrenzte und inspirierte Noguchi. Für diesen Entwurf entwickelte er ein einfaches System, bei dem dünne, konturierte Materialebenen zusammengeklebt wurden, die die Objekte in die finale Objektdimension transponierten. In seinen Skulpturen verfolgte er später diese Idee für längere Zeit weiter. Neu war für diese Zeit auch das Plexiglas, das als Material zur Herstellung durchsichtiger Flugzeugkanzeln und Geschütztürme entwickelt worden war (The imagery of Chess revisited, herausgegeben von Larry List).

tät-tat finalisierte die Umsetzung des faltbaren Brettes, der Figuren und den Innenausbau der Verpackung.

Elevates your wrist
Color: Right - Black, Size: Large, Color: Right - Black, Size: Large
This is a great tool. No wrist pain day 1. It elevates your wrist to level with the mouse so there’s no backward strain. Takes a little getting use to but well worth no pain.

It's hard af.
Color: Right - Grey, Size: Small, Color: Right - Grey, Size: Small
Edit: just realized Amazon sent me a left handed one! I got this one and the g2 or whatever with the strap. The g2 is great. This one is hard though. The edges of the rest thingy. And the edges in the middle where it splits are annoying. Idk if it's a difference in the rubber pads or what. Even if this works for wrist pain, it's not worth it for the palm discomfort.

Ergonomic and effective, but requires adjustment.
Color: Right - White, Size: Large
Bought this for improving wrist posture during long hours at the desk. What I like • The ergonomic design helps reduce wrist strain, especially during extended typing sessions. • The right-handed orientation is comfortable and natural to use. • High-quality build, feels sturdy and durable. What could be better • It takes some time to adjust to the unique design, especially if you’re used to traditional mice. • The size may not be suitable for people with smaller hands. • It could be a bit pricey compared to other ergonomic mice on the market. Bottom line: A great investment for improving wrist posture and reducing strain, but it might not be for everyone due to the learning curve and price. Perfect for users looking to enhance ergonomics, but consider alternatives if you have smaller hands or need a more budget-friendly option.

It’s painful. Not worth it.
Color: Right - Grey, Size: Small, Color: Right - Grey, Size: Small
I hate it. Period. Very strong feelings about it right out of the box. Gave it a few days, and not only do I still hate it but it’s very painful to use. The rubber material is hard and has pressure points that make you come away feeling like you’ve rested your wrist on the edge of a table for too long. I come away more sore using this than not. They only have small and large sizes, I think the small is too small for me? (I’m not sure. I can tell it doesn’t fit well, but I can’t tell if it’s because it’s too small or the shape isn’t right for my wrist). In any event, I am sure the large would be too large and even if they had a medium size I still wouldn’t repurchase this. Maybe if you’ve got some meat on your bones it would be more comfortable but as you can see, I am a very thin person and this is pressing on all the wrong places. I also feel like the center valley part contributes to carpal tunnel pain because the very firm edges of each side rested right in that area, not offering any support to the valley of the wrist, and therefore creating pressure to that nerve center and the ligaments. I don’t know why they chose this material, it’s too firm. Also, I think a better design would be a little tab from the center of it sticking out and then attaching to the bottom of the mouse so that both mouse and the wrist “support” worked as one unit when moving the mouse around. I often found that I didn’t drag the wrist piece with my mouse well and that it caused even more issues. If it were comfortable I would have made a little tab myself and connected the mouse and the wrist rest together, but as it’s extremely not even remotely comfortable I’m not bothering and I’ve already started the return process.

Quality Product, Definitely Recommend
Size: 17.2"L x 3.15"W x 0.78"H, Color: Black Walnut, Size: 17.2"L x 3.15"W x 0.78"H, Color: Black Walnut
Looks and feels great. Amazingly smooth, and well-crafted. It fits the length of my keyboard, and has quality grippers on the base to prevent sliding. Was actually really pleased with it.
