The relentless pursuit of beauty resulted in creating pieces of furniture that are made with such premium aesthetics, that they may already be considered a piece of art. The chessboard in the image is a perfect example of how seemingly ordinary things may become art through mosaic, if created with uncompromising quality. The chess board is made of marble chips and the chess pieces of raku-fired ceramic. These pieces were molded to create a silhouette that retains the classic shapes of chess pieces but has a certain abstraction that gives them an elegant sculpted feel.
