A centrepiece that changes with the light
Geometric Crystal Chess Set
A great game begins long before the first move. It begins with the board it is played on.
The Prism resembles nothing else. Its board alternates dark and light squares polished to a mirror finish — near impossible to walk past without stopping. The pieces are cut as translucent geometric volumes in amber and smoked grey, with real weight and presence in the hand. Their tone shifts with the light of the room, so the set never looks quite the same twice.
At 37 cm square, it has the scale of a true centrepiece: present enough to define a room, restrained enough to belong in any interior. This is the chess set people give — and the one they keep for themselves.

The pieces
Amber and smoked grey.
Faceted crystal volumes with real weight in the hand. Their tone shifts with the light of the room, so the set never looks quite the same twice. Chosen for the room first, and for the game whenever the mood strikes.
The board
Polished like a mirror.
Dark and light squares polished to a mirror finish, catching the ceiling, the window and the pieces above them. At 37 cm, it has the scale of a true centrepiece and the restraint to belong in any interior.
Under 30 cm is a travel board. Around 30 to 39 cm is the living-room size, generous enough for a comfortable game and composed enough to stay out. From 44 cm upwards you are in full-size territory. Our Choosing Your Board guide puts all eight sets side by side.
On our magnetic sets, yes. Every piece is magnetised, so you can lift the board mid-game, carry it to the sofa or pack it away and the position holds. On our metal and crystal sets the pieces are weighted rather than magnetic: they sit firmly on the square, and the board is meant to stay on the table.
It is the gift that gets kept out. Most MONOLITH sets are chosen as objects first and games second: they live on a coffee table, a sideboard or a desk, and get played when the mood strikes. A full 32-piece set comes with every board.
Pieces are secured in their compartments or wrapped individually, the board is protected on every face, and the set ships in a double-walled outer box. Every order is dispatched with tracking.
