Berd Vay’e – Chess Pawn

Considered the least powerful piece, yet the most fearless as it is usually first in line at the time of battle. It has the most potential as it can transform into any other piece once it reaches the opposing side of the board.

Each Berd Vay’e piece is casted with 8-10 layers over a 24-72 hours period. The sculpture is then baked, carefully protecting it from the formation of air bubbles or imperfections thus resulting in a seamless, crystal clear sculpture. The cooled Lucite® is shatter resistant, having heralded from its early use on submarines and helicopters. Each sculpture is then shaped and polished by hand, requiring relentless attention from multiple artisans to complete every one-of-a-kind piece.
