Share
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has introduced its latest expression of luxury craftsmanship: the Rolls-Royce Chess Set. Designed to bring the marque’s unmistakable elegance into the home, the set transforms the traditional game of chess into an extraordinary tactile and visual experience.
Meticulously crafted over the course of a year, the Rolls-Royce Chess Set is more than just a game—it is a celebration of precision, beauty, and sophistication. The set opens in a single, theatrical motion, echoing the sense of arrival that accompanies every Rolls-Royce motor car.
Once opened, players discover sculptural, ceramic-coated magnetised pieces housed within hidden drawers, each element bearing the brand’s signature attention to detail.
A Rolls-Royce Touch
Clients can choose from four distinct veneer finishes and a palette of 13 leather colours, allowing for a high degree of personalisation. True to the brand’s commitment to bespoke luxury, the Chess Set is both a functional object and a contemporary work of art that integrates seamlessly into the refined spaces of Rolls-Royce clientele.
Nick Abrams, Accessories Designer at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, shared the inspiration behind the piece: “We are in the privileged position of knowing our clients personally. These relationships – and the unique insights they provide into our clients’ worlds, tastes, and preferences – inform everything we do at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.”
He added, “Knowing that many clients enjoy chess — often at an extremely high level — we were inspired to create our own Chess Set as a natural evolution of the sense of hosting and occasion that defines the Rolls-Royce experience. Incorporating materials and the meticulous craft techniques our clients know and love from their motor car, the Chess Set is a discreet, beautiful, and authentic extension of our brand into their homes.”
The Rolls-Royce Chess Set exemplifies the brand’s ability to elevate even the most time-honoured pastimes into an experience of exceptional artistry and elegance—true to the spirit of the marque.
