Want a set that looks like nothing else on the table? These Lotus pipe shaped chess pieces have clean, slim turned shapes and a very tall 156mm king.
The bases are slim, so even this tall set suits a board with 51mm to 55mm squares. The pieces have a buff polished finish and thick green felt underneath. Each set is handmade in India.
Choose genuine ebony or bud rosewood for the dark side, both with boxwood. Two spare queens are included, but no board or box. See more in our chess pieces collection.
This set skips the usual Staunton detail. Every piece is a slim, turned shape, with the outline doing all the work.
It's tall. The king stands 156mm and the queen 132mm, well above a normal tournament set.
Because the bases are narrow, the set still fits a board with 51mm squares, and 55mm squares give it a little more room.
Each piece is made by hand, so expect small natural differences across the set. Two spare queens are included, so you're always ready for pawn promotion.
Both options share the same design and size. The difference is the timber of the dark pieces.
Genuine ebony is a dense, naturally black timber. Because the colour runs right through the wood, it won't wear through to a lighter shade over time. Bud rosewood is a rich, reddish brown timber with lively grain, so no two pieces look quite the same.
The full set weighs about 740g, so the pieces are light for their height. They're buff polished in several layers, with thick green felt on every base.
If you love a minimalist look in a smaller size, compare it with our Geometric Minimalist 88mm pieces.
"This is a real statement set that looks amazing on a shelf or a coffee table. It's tall and light, so it won't suit a player who wants a heavy, steady tournament set. For a collector or someone who loves modern design, it's a great pick."
- Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Sterling Chess
A board with 51mm squares is the best match, and up to 55mm works well. Our Bud Rosewood & Maple 48cm board and Sheesham & Maple 48cm board both have 50mm squares, or see our full chess boards collection.
They're handmade in India, so expect small natural differences in grain from piece to piece.
No. You get the 34 pieces only. The board and box are sold separately.
They're light rather than heavily weighted. The full set weighs about 740g, with thick green felt on every base.
The bases are slim, at 37mm for the king, so the pieces fit neatly on a 51mm square even though they're tall.
Genuine ebony gives a classic black and white look. Bud rosewood gives a warmer, reddish brown look and costs a little less.
No. It's a minimalist, pipe shaped design with simple turned pieces instead of Staunton detail.
Yes, one in each colour, so you get 34 pieces.
Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat and water, as the pieces aren't waterproof.
