Bauhaus chess pieces
Bauhaus Chess Pieces – Functional design in its purest form
Timeless and pioneering, the Bauhaus chess set impresses with its clear, uncompromising lines. Created in 1923 by Josef Hartwig, these chess pieces feature radically reduced shapes. Breaking away from traditional figurative depictions, their design reflects the pure function and specific movement options of each piece on the board. Cubes, cylinders, and spheres symbolize the moves, guiding players straight to checkmate – a masterful synthesis of typography, geometry, and gaming culture.
- Iconic creation – designed in 1923 by Josef Hartwig, reduced to form, function, and fundamental geometric elements.
- Functional symbols – the shape of each piece directly reflects its movement and role in the game.
- Faithful replica – produced in close collaboration with the Bauhaus Archive.
- Premium quality – crafted from the finest maple wood, 100% sustainably manufactured in Germany.
