Metropolis
A skyline in 32 pieces.Collection 01 · First Edition · Opening · Opening now
The idea
Metropolis translates the twenties skyline into chess pieces: stepped volumes, bundled verticals, setbacks instead of ornament. Each piece is its own building with its own height and its own setback.
Together they stand like a city on the board.
The six pieces
Queen
02
The fan. Verticals that open.
Bishop
03
Offset storeys, cut at a slant. A building in motion.
Knight
04
A horse's head drawn in facade edges.
Rook
05
Stepped mass. Each storey carries the next.
Pawn
06
The smallest high-rise. Lined up, a city block.
The army

Form: final. Surface: born in the kiln.
The dark party carries a deep petrol that breaks bronze along the ridges. The light one a warm ivory with a fine crackle. Both happen in the kiln and never repeat.
