Description
CALVERT is from a series of coffee tables, designed by Ferdinand Kramer during his time in America. Part of his successful "Knock-Down" furniture series, it consists of a table top and two crossing invertible sheets serving as a base for the table. Celebrating 120 years Ferdinand Kramer, CALVERT CHESS is based on a cardboard picnic version Kramer originally proposed for Coca-Cola in 1951. The special edition features a silkscreen black chessboard printed on natural oak. The distinct outline of NONA chess figures illustrates a decisive cut and minimum design intervention to create each character. Each figure is inspired by the moves it can make. NONA is named in appreciation of the first woman to be awarded the International Grandmaster title in 1978. The wooden chess figures are hand-made in Germany and are finished in clear and black lacquered oak with felt gliders. They are developed with attention to proportion and scale in relation to the corresponding chessboard NONA in harness leather, which is available separately.↳ https://www.e15.com/en/all-products/accessories/nona.html https://www.e15.com/en/all-products/furniture/calvert-chess.html
