Entirely handcrafted in Italy, the board features a wood structure with fine leather inserts on the top, while the base—wrapped in premium calfskin leather and embossed with the ELIE SAAB monogram—adds a sophisticated architectural touch. Discreet magnetic drawers are seamlessly built into the base, concealing two full sets of chess pieces, expertly sculpted from white Carrara and black Marquinia marble. The striking contrast of materials enhances both the design and tactile experience.
