Jeddah is truly a city of sculpture. It's been estimated that there are up to 600 sculptures placed around the squares, streets and avenues of the city, and what better way to remember Jeddah than through a timeless chess set that acts as a centerpiece to your home.
The chess set is inspired by the sculptures that reside within Jeddah from the beautification era of the 80s, featured artists from the likes of Joan Miro, Jean Arp, Cesar Baldaccini and Henry Moore which are all part of a permanent collection in Jeddah.
It was Dr Mohamed Farsi, mayor of Jeddah in the 1970s and 1980s, who first had the vision of beautifying the city’s environment in this way.
