Architecture you can play: London in miniature, as a full 32-piece stainless steel chess set.
The Skyline Chess London Edition turns London’s skyline into chess pieces. The pieces are London’s landmarks, including Big Ben, the London Eye, St Mary Axe, The Shard and Canary Wharf.
Skyline Chess was founded by two London-based architectural designers who pit the world’s great buildings against each other. This set comes with a hand-printed wooden map board (15 x 15 inches) and a presentation box, ready to play or display.

Why we carry it
We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and Skyline Chess is the kind of object we look for: a real, playable chess set that also works as sculpture. We list it from the brand’s US distributor, with the distributor’s item number and barcode.
Buy once: durability and care
Our advice (the distributor doesn’t publish care instructions): wipe the steel pieces with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, keep them dry and store them in the box. Avoid abrasive pads.
