The board itself is carved out of Carrara marble, and it is quite heavy-duty. Instead of the traditional chess pieces, designer Tarek Elkassouf etched into the tops of sleek rectangular brushed stainless-steel blocks symbols of the original styled pieces. In keeping up with Tarek's minimalist design, the chess set comes in a simplistic velvet box. The artist and designer is based between Beirut and Sydney. His works have been featured Museums and other institutions throughout the Arab world.

If you're looking to add a little magic to your life, look to The Blue Crown to educate and equip yourself with the necessary tools to become to make this a most enjoyable hobby. Here, designed by Joshua M. Smith of Orlando, Florida we have the "Altruism Playing Cards" series. The project came from the discovery of literature from the 1700's that told of a secret society of magicians who'd banded together to protect themselves from the Salem Witch trials of the late 1600's. Founded in the northeastern US, the Order of the Owl's symbolism was used as the artwork for this magician's deck of cards in honor of the secret that may exist even today. Who knows. These cards and their limited edition white version called the Snow Owl collection can be purchased here while supplies last.

A love of music and outdoors brought about this folding Traveler's Guitar. The goal was for the designers, Shlomi Daniel and Uri Nir to build an instrument that would withstand harsh elements of the outdoors as well as produce premium sound and a fun time playing. Made out of hardwood, plywood, metal and carbon-fiber, no worries of sacrificing sound quality and output after a quick fine tuning following initial unfolding due to a tension release mechanism. Take a look.
