There are chess sets made to be played, and there are chess sets made to be kept. This one does both without compromise.
The Chess, Reverra is part of Printworks' Reverra Collection, a line built around the idea that everyday objects deserve the same consideration as the rooms they inhabit. The set arrives in a smooth PU leather-covered wooden box, finished with clean lines and a restrained elegance that makes it as comfortable on a coffee table as it is mid-game.
Design and Materials
The board and its enclosing box are constructed from a PU leather-covered wooden frame over a paperboard structure, in a calm pairing of beige and blue that sits quietly in almost any interior. The colour palette is deliberate - not stark, not busy, just considered. The chess pieces themselves are solid wood, weighted appropriately for play and substantial enough in the hand to feel like something worth handling.
The overall dimensions are 28 × 28 × 5.5 cm and the complete set weighs 1.6 kg, making it compact enough to store or travel with, but substantial enough to feel like a proper board.
For Play, Not Just Display
This is a fully playable chess set. It accommodates two players and comes with multilingual instructions in English, French, and German. Whether you are returning to chess after years away or introducing the game to someone for the first time, the Reverra set offers an experience that feels genuinely worthy of the occasion.
That said, it holds its own when the game is not in session. Closed, it reads as a handsome object - the kind of thing guests notice on a shelf or side table and actually ask about.
A Word on the Reverra Collection
Printworks is a Swedish design brand with a consistent eye for the point where function and aesthetics intersect. The Reverra Collection extends that sensibility into games and objects designed for the home, using materials and finishes that signal care without announcing themselves loudly. The Chess, Reverra sits squarely within that brief.

Who This Is For
It works well as a gift - for someone moving into a new home, a design-conscious friend, or anyone who appreciates objects that earn their place in a room. It is also simply a very good chess set for someone who wants one that does not look out of place in a well-kept interior.
