BCE = BEST CHESSMEN EVER
The BCE collection is crafted for true chess lovers, those who appreciate modern yet familiar forms. Before finalizing the design, designer Jonas Žnidaršič conducted extensive testing both at home and in local chess clubs. In our workshop, we turned dozens of prototype Kings, Bishops, Pawns and Knights until one day he exclaimed: 'These are the best chessmen in the world!'
Featuring three distinct design stages in Eastern and Western styles, the BCE Chessmen Collection is handcrafted from quality maple and walnut. We offer six versions of BCE chessmen:
- Stage 1 Eastern Style | Western Style
- Stage 1 Blitz Eastern Style | Western Style
- Stage 1 Compact Eastern Style | Western Style
- Stage 2 Eastern Style | Western Style
- Stage 3 Eastern Style
- Stage 3 Western Style
In our workshop, we hand-turn and hand-carve chessmen. If you are also looking for a suitable chessboard, contact us for an additional offer or a recommendation of renowned chessboard makers.
Each set includes a numbered certificate of authenticity.
The chessmen are packed in a black box bearing the Noj workshop logo.
