Victor Vasarely, limited edition chess set, plexiglass, France, 1979

Designed in 1979 by Victor Vasarely (1906–1997), a pioneering figure of Op Art, this striking chess set embodies the artist’s signature optical language. Resting on a cross-legged plexiglass base, the board features a vibrant composition of rhythmic circular motifs and angular forms in shades of green, blue, and purple, creating a dynamic sense of movement beneath the transparent surface.

The 32 sculptural chess pieces are distilled into pure geometric forms: one side in clear acrylic, the other in frosted material. Their elegant transparency enhances the visual interplay between light, color, and form, transforming the chess set into both a functional object and a sculptural work of art.
