Each chess pieces  is represented by an abstract geometric form with a deliberate meaning behind it. The kings are pyramids – the Egyptian symbol of kings. The queens are cones, nicely complementing the king’s pyramid, and representing the headpieces worn by medieval queens. The bishops are represented by a type of drinkware called flagons, representing the tradition of bishops concocting their own liqueurs and spirits. The rooks are large cubes, and each pawn is a sphere atop a base. The knights are fashioned to look like the scroll of a violin.
