When it comes to acting on a concept idea, the Checkmate! Lamps are definitely well executed.
The designer behind Fang Studio created the Checkmate! Lamps to reflect the strategic nature of chess. Each of the items has been made to either look like or replicate every single piece of the board game. So whether you want a pawn, the king or the rook, it is available to you in lamp form. What I like even more behind the idea is that Fang Studio adopts the idea of strategic placement into their design -- this time, it’s all about getting the best ambiance instead of winning the game.
The Checkmate! Lamps are well thought-out pieces for the home that have a great concept and look good at the same time.
