4" Herman Ohme 1950s Minimalist Chess Set
This handcrafted chess set is a reproduction of the Herman Ohme minimalist chess design from the 1950s, known for its clean and understated Mid-Century modern character. The set combines 4-inch chess pieces with a handcrafted 16" × 16" borderless chessboard made from Golden Rosewood and Maple Wood.
The chessmen are individually buff polished and specially weighted, with felted bases to provide stability during play and help protect the chessboard surface. The combination of Golden Rosewood and Maple creates a natural contrast while maintaining the minimalist appearance of the set.
Minimalist Weighted Chess Pieces
The chess pieces feature a 4-inch King and are specially weighted for a balanced playing experience. Each piece is individually buff polished and fitted with a felted base.
Golden Rosewood & Maple Chessboard
The 16" × 16" borderless chessboard is handcrafted from Golden Rosewood and Maple Wood. Its minimalist borderless design and glossy finish complement the clean styling of the chess pieces.
