THE MAX CHISWICK COLLECTION
THE MAX CHISWICK COLLECTION
In January 2025, we lost our friend and fellow design collector, Max Chiswick.
Max was uniquely singular. His curiosity and taste led him around the world, shaping a collection rooted in discovery and finding joy in the unexpected.
We’re honored to share select pieces from his collection in collaboration with his family, a tribute to his enduring eye.
Learn more about Max.
Italy, 1971. Modular set of tables in black polyurethane foam.
The playful Gli Scacchi series – named after and inspired by the game of chess – is composed of three elements representing the Queen, the Knight and the Ruck. Light and easy to move just like on a chessboard, Gli Scacchi is based on an idea of living free from constraints. In the original 1971 version, Gli Scacchi represented a remarkable technical innovation as they were produced in self-skinning polyurethane foam, a solution which until then had only been used in the automotive industry.
