Melding traditional techniques with an appreciation for beeswax as a sculptural material, FAUM released an elegant chess set to serve as a new addition to cozy, candle-lit game nights. The entire board takes on a neutral color palette with naturally pigmented wax in sage and ivory tones, and 32 iconic game pieces are transformed into pleasing, abstracted forms topped with a wick. With each candle lit, a dramatic game is ensured as you keep your opponents in check and potentially burn it all down in defeat. The move is yours.

Find the set in FAUM’s shop, and follow the maker on Instagram for more updates.
