The Royal Game is a chess board made of brass, placed on a precisely crafted monolith. The object combines clear geometry with artisanal depth, bringing the classic idea of chess into a contemporary, architectural form.
The surface is created through a controlled, manual process. The squares are masked with precision, the dark areas are selectively patinated and given a calm, even depth. The light squares are sanded and opened up, creating a clear, precise contrast. Every nuance is set by hand, lending the material a vivid yet controlled structure.

The chess board functions as a playable object while simultaneously serving as a sculptural element in the room. The solid construction and restrained formal language create a strong presence without excess.
