Handmade Chess Set with a flaw - NO. 2
Chess set with a flaw, but that doesn't mean she has to go to waste.
Since our focus is zero waste.
We want to give this colourful chess set a new home.
And the fast players? They won't even notice ;-)
Flaws
1. A tiny triangle imprint in a corner of the board.

Materials- Handmade Products
The wooden chess set is inspired by the Esala Perahera, also known as The Festival of the Tooth. The Esala Perahera is Asia's largest traditional parade and takes place in Kandy, the former captial of Sri lanka, every summer. The knights in the game have been replaced by festively decorated elephants and there are a large number of other references to be found, if you carefully study the pieces one by one.
Chessboard (50cm x 50cm)
36 pieces
Chessboard
Rubberwood is lumber that produces latex for rubber. After 25-30 years the production drops and the old trees are being cut down to renew the rubber forest. In the past the old trees were burned, the wood is re-used for smaller objects.
Chess pieces
Ginikuru wood comes from trees that are widespread on the island, easy to grow and made to die after 2-3 years. In this short time, there is little to no impact on the ecosystem around the trees. As Ginikuru literal translation is 'matchwood', its reference comes from the properties of the tree species: it is very thin, yet sturdy and extremely suitable for wood carving.
Every product is entirely handmade and hand painted and therefore differences between products might occur.
Minor imperfections are not attributed to a manufacturing flaw but to the uniqueness and quality of this product.
