Ce jeu d'échecs aux lignes épurées est caractéristique du style intemporel du Bauhaus. Les pièces de Josef Hartwig, conçues en 1923, adoptent des formes réduites qui, contrairement aux figures traditionnelles, sont des symboles basés uniquement sur la fonction et la forme du mouvement de chaque pièce. Cubes, cylindres et boules vous guideront coup après coup jusqu'au mat.

Conçu par Josef Hartwig. Fabriqué par Naef en Allemagne.

The reduced geometric shapes took a few games to read at a glance, but now I actually prefer them to standard Staunton pieces. The knight is just an L-block and it's somehow easier to spot mid-game.

I've had this on my coffee table for two weeks and guests keep picking up the pieces to figure out how the knight and bishop are actually distinguished — it's a fun little puzzle before anyone even starts playing. The abstract forms take a game or two to get used to, but the board itself looks like

Sophia ★★★★★

The reduced geometric pieces are genuinely beautiful on a shelf, but I mostly love how quickly they read on the board once you learn which block is which. Playing with a set designed in 1923 feels like owning a little piece of design history.
