3D Hartwig Chess Set

Josef Hartwig designed a series of wooden chess sets, which have now become a famous example of the Bauhaus design sensibilities. All of them feature geometric shapes with a square base---in Model XVI from 1924 the pawns are plain wood cubes.

How to Play ?

The design of each piece combines two different forms of representation.

• The abstract the visual appearances of traditional chess pieces into simple geometric shapes.

• The shape of each piece reflects how it moves:

  • pawns and rooks move in straight lines and are represented as rectangular prisms,
  • the bishops feature diagonal lines,
  • the king has both straight and diagonal elements,
  • the knights are L-shaped.
