Handcrafted Bronze Chess Set Alberto Giacometti Inspired
Designer unknown, inspired bu Alberto Giacometti
Italy, 1960s
W 40cm D 40cm
Make a bold statement with this extraordinary handcrafted bronze chess set, inspired by the sculptural language of Alberto Giacometti, where the ancient game meets modern art. Each chess piece is individually cast in solid bronze and shaped into expressive, abstract human forms with dramatic negative space—evoking the iconic elongated figures of mid-20th-century modernism.
The pieces feature a rich, natural patina ranging from deep charcoal to verdigris green, emphasizing their texture and artisanal character. They are presented on a decorative brass chessboard with engraved square motifs, creating a striking contrast between sculptural form and refined surface detail.
Both functional and highly decorative, this set transcends traditional chess to become a collectible design object.
