IC Design’s edition pairs his pieces with a board built for them. The set goes back to an original that now belongs to the Met in New York; Man Ray reduced each piece to a basic solid, and the knight borrows its curl from a violin head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a chess set that works as a sculpture when nobody is playing. The pieces read as a small family of geometric forms rather than carved figures, and the board gives them a crisp black-and-natural stage.
