Jaime Hayon Chess Set
I am most excited about this. The best thing to happen in Trafalgar Square (in my life time at least).
The man-sized pieces will be handmade out of ceramic in and set on rollers so that they can be manouevred around the board by two “movers”. The players will overlook the board from raised thrones!
The London-based Spanish designer Jaime Haydon says the idea was inspired by strategy maps for the Battle of Trafalgar, when Lord Nelson defeated Napoleon’s fleet (not to mention his Spanish allies) in 1805.
