The Royal Selangor Modernist Chess Set is a clean, minimalist tribute to early-20th-century Bauhaus design—pairing geometric forms, premium materials, and functional elegance in one refined display piece.
The chessmen are crafted from satin-finished pewter, each piece weighted for a reassuring, tactile feel in the hand. Their simplified shapes preserve full Staunton legibility while delivering a distinctly modern aesthetic.
The board features walnut and maple arranged in a bold, architectural layout. With its elevated frame and built-in storage beneath the lid, the board serves as both a playing surface and a display showcase.
This is a modern luxury chess set designed for players and collectors who appreciate clean lines, premium materials, and timeless design language.
At 39.5 cm x 39.5 cm, the board offers a compact, contemporary footprint ideal for small tables, offices, or display settings.
The playing surface is crafted from walnut and maple, creating a warm, natural contrast that enhances the minimalist pieces.
The board stands 6 cm tall, giving it a sculptural presence that feels both modern and substantial.
The chessboard lid lifts to reveal a concealed storage compartment—perfect for keeping your pewter pieces organised and protected when not in use.
With its clean edges and warm wood tones, the board serves as an elegant piece of functional décor.
The pieces are sculpted in satin-finish pewter, a material chosen for its smooth feel, durability, and ability to hold precise geometric form.
Heights range from 5 cm to 9 cm, with bases approximately 2.5 cm wide—proportioned for comfort and stability.
Their reduced, modern shapes maintain all the essential cues of traditional Staunton design while introducing a fresh, architectural style.
Each piece is weighted to provide a solid hand-feel, making gameplay deliberate, smooth, and satisfying.
Royal Selangor’s reputation for pewter artistry is evident in every piece of this modernist set.
The finishing is smooth, the shapes precise, and the materials chosen for longevity and tactile appeal.
Whether used for regular play or displayed as a conversation piece, the Modernist Chess Set is a refined example of functional design meeting artisan craftsmanship.
Now available through Sterling Chess, it’s an ideal choice for design enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone seeking a chess set with contemporary elegance.
“The Sterling Chess team is a huge admirer of Royal Selangor chess sets for their exquisite design, craftsmanship, and collectible appeal. Each set is a true work of art — beautifully sculpted in fine pewter and often inspired by legendary themes like Star Wars and other pop culture icons. These high-end creations combine storytelling with superior quality, turning every match into a cinematic experience worthy of display.”
