The Chess set
Spring 2025
Length: 5 weeks
Project Brief:
Design a unique, innovative chess style with all pieces sharing a distinctive design element.
Ideation
Aesthetics
The original goal was to create a chess set that showed the relationship between multi-colored glass/acrylic and light.
Development & Model Making
Color & material exploration
Quick laser cut out of chipboard.
Vinyl sticker applied to clear acrylic.
Final design with color exploration
Final Aesthetics
Trying to achieve the stained glass look by coloring clear acrylic was unsuccessful. So the aesthetic was changed and a new inspiration board was created.
Process
The final was made of a magenta piece of acrylic that was laser cut and glued together before being put into the common, base piece.
