Fabiani
The Fabiani chess set takes its inspiration from the elegant world of Secessionist art and architecture, paying tribute to the legendary master architect Maks Fabiani (1865–1962).
Fabiani, a giant of European architecture, helped shape the look of modern Vienna and created the visionary urban plan for the renewal of the Slovenian capital.
To capture the spirit of his legacy, designer and retired architecture professor Janez Suhadolc translated the defining features of the Secession style, its distinctive curved, organic, plant-inspired ornaments, directly into the silhouettes of the chess pieces. Suhadolc, an award-winning furniture maker who, among other things, crafted unique chairs for Pope John Paul II, brings his deep passion for chess to this design. The result is a set in which flowing Art Nouveau lines blend with pleasant, balanced playability.
