TROJAN, a coffee table at first sight, is hiding space that holds similar amount of fighters as a legendary Trojan horse. Figures made by TOWARNA, are cast from concrete, one of first composite materials, used already in ancient Rome. Chess, which evolved from the Persian chess-like game Shatranj, purportedly developed from the first known variant - an Indian game of Chaturanga, are the best gymnastics for our brains.

Chessboard is made of 68 hand-folded parts of a special wood veneer with an unusual wood texture that can be seen for example in interiors of luxury cars.
The double-sided table top can turn a chess table into a coffee or storage table. The appearance of the board can be designed individually.
Under the table top is a “box of chocolates” with beds for sleeping warriors.
The chess pieces designed by us were meticulously manufactured and supplied by TOWARNA.
They originally come in white and grey color, however, shades can be customised individually.
The body and legs are made of tough oak wood which enabled the precise processing of the organic curves of the table. Legs can be dismantled for practical reasons.
The character of oak wood enables us to use a special method of deep colouring. Thanks to this method we achieve the reminiscent look of walnut wood without the necessity of dyeing. The components contained in the wood react differently and therefore the original texture is always created.
