Alongside legendary French art publisher Cahiers d’Art, Dropshop is honored to release the inaugural deluxe edition of the long-awaited Calder Chess Set. This edition, published by Cahiers d’Art in collaboration with the Calder Foundation, faithfully recreates Calder’s most sculptural and iconic chess set — a true collector’s piece for art, design, and chess enthusiasts.

This initial release of 750 chess sets will be accompanied by two inkjet prints of drawings from the artist's 1944 Chess Knightmares series, which offers collectors a rare insight into Calder's mischievous interpretation of the game.
