Made in Germany and gift boxed; the board is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMan Ray designed his first chess pieces in the 1920s, abandoning the carved, figurative look of traditional sets. IC Design notes that Man Ray composed the pieces from cube, sphere, pyramid and cone, shaped the knight after a violin’s scroll, and that this re-edition is licensed with the Man Ray Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e IC Design (Zurich)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Man Ray Chess Pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Man Ray, 1920s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid beech wood with clear lacquered and black painted finishes; wool felt pad under each piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 chess pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiece heights:\u003c\/strong\u003e King and queen 3.25\"; knight 2\"; rook and pawn 1.4\"; other pieces up to 2.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gift boxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e IC-MRCS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid beech wood with clear lacquered and black painted finishes; wool felt pad under each piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Man Ray (1920s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIC Design edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift boxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChess players who already own a board, collectors of artist editions and design-minded studies.
