Our statement piece is thoughtfully designed to complement every home.
With Villenchess we bridge the rich history of chess with contemporary interior design, offering a refined, minimalist statement piece.
IDEA TO CONCEPT
Inspired by the French artist Yves Tanguy, the initial idea was to combine minimalism with classic Staunton design principles. Our countless design revisions ensured its perfection for today.
CONCEPT TO REALITY
Sketching, designing, and modeling were done with international chess standards and the needs and desires of our future customers in mind. After about seven iterative months, the design met our satisfaction.
PROTOTYPE
The CNC machined prototype gave us our first tangible experience of the board's design, offering a real sense of its form and feel. This moment not only marked significant progress in our journey but also enabled further product development.
PACKAGING
Our packaging is designed not only as a functional storage solution but also as an integral part of interior decor. Choosing a supplier within the European Union was a deliberate decision, aligned with our sourcing and procurement priorities.
MANUFACTURING
We take great pride in the fact that all of our sets are handmade in Germany. In today’s age of automation, human-crafted products are becoming increasingly rare. We dedicate meticulous attention to detail and invest the necessary time to ensure exceptional quality.

Historically favoured by rulers and conquerors, chess is more than a game; it embodies a philosophy of strategic thought and action.
We carried out numerous material tests and explored a wide range of options to select only the very best.
