Naef Bauhaus Chess Pieces

Naef Bauhaus Chess Pieces

The Bauhaus Chess Pieces from Naef are a set of 32 eco-friendly wooden chess pieces, designed to work in a set with the Naef Bauhaus Chess Board.

Originally designed by Josef Hartwig in 1923, this chess set features a minimalistic, reduced form design that uses cubes, cylinders and spheres. With a black and natural wood finish set, these make a beautiful premium alternative to regular chess pieces. The natural set perfectly shows off the wood grains and features a non-toxic wood varnish that helps protect the wood and ensures they are safe for children and the environment.

This set brings an aesthetic touch to the timeless game of chess and will allow children to explore their problem solving skills and patience. The quality of this set makes it an excellent gift that will last for generations to come. It is also a beautiful display piece when not in use – Naef toys offer truly stunning visual appeal.
