Scope of Work

The Khasi Chess Set project and research focus on new product development through collaboration between craftsman and designer to exercise a shared understanding of material, craft processes and a vision that is true to the culture as well as the craft involved. We developed individual chess pieces that lend themselves on a semantic level to invoke cultural characteristics and values, yet still identifiable for the larger purpose of playing the much-loved game of chess.
