This game of chess with clean lines is
typical of timeless Bauhaus style. Josef Hartwig's chessmen, designed in
1923, have characteristically reduced forms which, in contrast to
commonly used figures, are symbols based purely on the function and form
of the manoeuvre of each piece. Cubes, cylinders and balls lead you
move by move to checkmate.
Bauhaus replicas produced by Naef are
classics in the true sense of the word. An archaic use of forms which
these objects suggest is characteristic of this collection. Products
with the Naef logo (placed in the background) stand for the highest
precision and quality in wood processing. Adults and children the world
over, are inspired by the harmony of the visible and technical
durability of these objects which in turn, encourage creativity and
develop the senses during play.
Fascinating, aesthetic,
ingenious. The objects possess all these features, yet each one has its
own individual character. One first understands this when held in the
hand. Apart from the concept behind them, it is the quality of the
workmanship which makes Bauhaus play objects so special. Respect for the
material, wood and handcrafted with extreme care, result in this unique
quality.
