Fungi — six ceramic pieces in a row

Fungi

From the forest floor to the board.Collection 03 · In Development · Edition to come

The idea

Fungi follows the quiet growth of the forest floor: closed fruiting bodies, caps without overhang, stems with fine gill lines. Each piece feels found rather than built.

Together they stand like a fairy ring on the board.

The six pieces

King

01
Fungi King

The cap above all. Closed to the rim.

Queen

The bud. Gills only just hidden.

Bishop

03

The young shoot. Pointed before it opens.

Knight

04

The cap reaches forward, grown as if on a trunk.

Rook

05
Fungi Rook

Stout as a bolete. It stands where it grows.

Pawn

The button. Eight of them by morning.
