Circle to Square - from idea to physical product

I designed a complete chess set from the ground up, starting as an idea, developed through 3D visualisation, and carried all the way to a final physical product. Every piece traces the same transformation: circle becoming square. Ceramic pieces, chrome bases, a stone board. What started as a shape study became one of the most-appreciated pieces in my portfolio, now sold as a finished product. Sometimes the simplest idea, carried consistently, goes further than complexity ever could.
