Trojan, a coffee table at first sight, is hiding space that holds similar amount of fighters as a legendary Trojan horse. 32 chess pieces made by Towarna, are cast from concrete, one of first composite materials, used already in ancient Rome. Chess, which evolved from the Persian chess-like game Shatranj, purportedly developed from the first known variant - an Indian game of Chaturanga, are the best gymnastics for our brains. Chessboard is made of 68 hand-folded parts of a special wood veneer with an unusual wood texture that can be seen for example in interiors of luxury cars.We've added a delicately light variant to our Trojan chess table family. The color is achieved through a chemical reaction, so it doesn't rely on using a color pigment that might alter over time. The chessboard is made from ash and walnut burl veneer. The opposite side of the tabletop is adorned with walnut burl.
