A birthday redesign for a friend who appreciates both chess and clean design. Each piece was crafted to find the perfect balance between minimalist aesthetics and classical chess recognition. The flowing curves and weighted bases transform this traditional game into a contemporary art piece that's as satisfying to play with as it is to display. This set merges my engineering background with my passion for modernizing classic games through thoughtful design.

A modern take on Nine Men's Morris, designed as a birthday gift for my father who taught me this timeless game. Engineered with precision on the X1C, it features magnetic pieces, optional weights, and seamless storage. The minimalist design with floating pieces transforms this ancient game into a contemporary showpiece. Every detail, from the satisfying click of piece placement to the hidden storage mechanism, was crafted to honor memories while creating something beautiful and functional.
