It’s a tale of two cities. Setting the scene for the architectural greats to battle it out, this Special Edition set takes the most iconic buildings in the world and pits them against each other on the chess board.

Queen – Empire State Building / The Shard
Bishop – Chrysler Building / 30 St. Mary Axe
Knight – Flatiron Building / London Eye
Rook – Guggenheim Museum / Big Ben
Pawn – Brownstone House / Terraced House

London’s most-notable architecture takes on New York’s skyline in this special edition. Big Ben, London Eye, St Mary Axe, The Shard and Canary Wharf play against Brownstone House, Guggenheim, Flatiron, Chrysler, Empire State Building and One World Trade Tower.

This monochrome acrylic set plays a perfect nod to the concrete tones within the world of architecture, while allowing the form and detail of each building to be truly appreciated.

As each piece is handmade, small imperfections can happen. This part of the handmade process is what makes the products unique and should not be seen as a fault. Each set comes complete with a hand screen-printed black & white wooden playing board and in a presentation box.
