The Bauhaus

[leveroij]

These 3D printed chess pieces are modeled after the Bauhaus design released in 1924 by Joseph Hartwig. The pieces’ shapes indicate the direction in which they are able to move, making it the perfect set for those just learning to play. The pieces tell you how you’re allowed to move that piece. Pretty dandy, eh?

Josef Hartwig designed the chess set while teaching at the Bauhaus in 1923. It embodied the school’s tenets that an object must be practical, durable, inexpensive and beautiful. Hartwig’s design reduced the pieces to the most basic components of artistic construction: line, square and circle.
