A chess move worth leaving on the table
With the PRINTWORKS Art of Chess Mirror from the Classic Collection, the first dilemma arrives before a single piece has moved: why would you ever want to put it away? Measuring 28 x 28 cm, this chess set pairs warm beige with cool silver and places the familiar chequerboard on a thin layer of mirrored acrylic. The result is a reflective playing surface that changes subtly with the light, its surroundings and every move across the board. The chessboard and pieces are made from wood, complemented by acrylic, while the book-style box is covered in FSC®-certified, acid-free paper and finished with a silver-foil checked pattern. At 4.5 cm high and approximately 1 kg, the set is compact enough to live comfortably on a coffee table or shelf while still having plenty of presence. Once the game is over, board and pieces tuck neatly into the box, which sits naturally amongst art books and favourite objects. PRINTWORKS Chess Mirror makes a surprisingly convincing case that checkmate and decorating can, in fact, share a hobby.
For long games, good company and rather clever gifts
Chess requires no charging cable, notifications or software update, yet it has been keeping two people occupied for centuries. That simple appeal makes Art of Chess Mirror easy to bring into everyday life, whether you are rediscovering the game, teaching a beginner or already know exactly what your next three moves will be. It also makes a thoughtful chess gift for someone new to the game, particularly when you want to give something they will enjoy beyond the playing board. Traditional wooden chess sets are often appreciated for their tactile feel and durability, while plastic versions tend to win on low weight and travel practicality. PRINTWORKS takes a different route, combining a wooden board and wooden pieces with a mirrored acrylic surface and decorative storage box. Its 28 x 28 cm format is relatively compact compared with many larger chessboards, although at around one kilogram it is better described as portable home chess than an ultra-light travel set.
Less scrolling, more plotting your next move
Founded in Stockholm in 2017 by Annette and Patrik, PRINTWORKS grew from a desire to make room for slower, warmer and more tangible moments in an increasingly digital everyday life. The brand celebrates familiar analogue rituals: opening a photo album rather than scrolling through thousands of images, gathering around a game rather than disappearing into separate feeds, and keeping useful objects visible because their design belongs in the room. Art of Chess Mirror captures that philosophy particularly well. Mirrored acrylic, wooden chess pieces and a calm beige and silver palette transform a traditional game into a contemporary lifestyle object without forgetting that it is there to be played. It is an approach that feels naturally at home at LIVOSY too: choose things with purpose, enjoy living with them and keep them around for more than a season.
Somewhere between the art books and your next rematch
Leave PRINTWORKS Art of Chess Mirror on a coffee table beside books, a vase or favourite home accessories and it becomes part of the room; close the book-style box and it turns into a graphic object for the shelf. For an analogue games collection, pair it with PRINTWORKS Backgammon, playing cards or Memory. The brand's photo albums and The Essentials gift sets continue the same idea and make lovely companions when choosing gifts for a birthday, new home or someone who appreciates good design with an actual purpose. Beige and silver are understated enough to work across different interiors, while the Mirror surface gives this edition its distinctive character. And when the promised “quick game” quietly turns into the rest of the evening, you will know it has done exactly what it was designed to do. Leave it out, invite someone to play and see who makes the first move.
