With its slender form and playful, almost coquettish air, the circular table Flirt is destined to become a favourite piece, and for chess lovers, a must-have item of furniture. With just a few simple movements, the smooth dark brown leather top turns over and an embossed chessboard is revealed. Then it is just a matter of reaching down into the walnut casket ensconced between the elegant Graphite Grey legs and removing the stone and metal playing pieces and, for those master strategists, the pencil and notepad nestled in a separate compartment.
Two pairs of eyes gaze intensely at each other. Two pairs of hands lie across a table tantalisingly close, but never so much as brush fingertips. If you’ve ever thought that chess is the ultimate game of seduction, you are not alone. Designer Luca Nichetto explores that very theme in Flirt, his exquisite set of chairs and table.
