This chess table was crafted from lacquered wood with brass details. The pattern of the chessboard is repeated in the lattice design of the table’s legs. The design is reminiscent of Koloman Moser’s in its precise and meticulous use of geometric forms and structural elegance. The seamless synthesis of form and function embodies the aesthetics of the Vienna Workshop.
