SKYLINE CHESS Dubai Marble and Bronze Chess Set

Skyline Chess is the brainchild of two London-based architects who set out to remodel the game for players and design enthusiasts alike. Each of the 32 pieces in this set is made from heavy bronze using a combination of the traditional lost-casting process and 3D printing to ensure complete precision. They're then gilded and felted on the base to hold each one in place. This Dubai edition perfectly captures the 'City of Gold' with the Rose Rotana as the rook and the Princess Tower playing the queen, while the tallest building in the world – the Burj Khalifa – stands in for the king.
