A study in geometric repetition, this Italian Modernist set reimagines the classic game as a miniature architectural landscape. Replacing traditional figures with a sharp, tubular language, the 32 cylindrical pieces are crafted in weighted brushed stainless steel and matte black. The set stands on a heavy-gauge steel plate etched with a rhythmic grid of dark, circular inlays, mirroring the geometry of the pieces. Monumental in spirit and significant in weight, this is a rare, sculptural find for the curated interior. Details & Condition The 32 pieces are in pristine condition, housed in their original box. The 29 x 29cm board (1kg) shows 2 light surface scratches consistent with its industrial character and age. Sourced in Italy, the set remains a striking, unattributed example of late-century avant-garde design.
