Benedict Homer grew up in a fruitful artistic background where both parents are working artists it seemed only likely that Ben would graduate with BA Honours in Wood Metal and Plastic 3D design in England.
In collaboration with illustrators, and skilful model makers we have developed
this range of chess sets after feeling there was a gap in the market for fun and collectable high quality games, and so developed our signature set Wild Animals of Africa chess set. Ben still kept in mind the traditional element of the game and so introduced the game to a new audience, and existing chess enthusiasts alike.The pieces are very tactile and have been accurately modelled and beautifully
hand painted, as it is important to us that the player would feel like the pieces would come alive. We selected each animal by its nature and position in the animal kingdom and recreated this on to the real wood chessboard; Ben has specially designed the boards with these chess sets in mind.
