DEVIN
Two years of discussions, meetings, and visits passed before Oskar Kogoj accepted the challenge of designing a chess set. Drawing six different pieces with all the detail a masterpiece demands is not something a designer takes on lightly. But the moment we received his first sketches, we knew we were on the threshold of an extraordinary chess set.
The Devin set takes the forms of its pieces from Oskar Kogoj’s world of energy. As the renowned designer explains: “The set is shaped around rediscovered cosmic energies, known in Sanskrit as prana energies. By playing chess, we follow the prana energies: mental energy, the energy of the hand, and the energy of action.” This is why we know a special experience awaits at the chessboard.
Most of the work is done by hand, with the tools and techniques of the old masters, as this is the only way to make pieces of such high quality.
