A story told through craftsmanship.
I’m excited to share a few spreads from a 44 page coffee table book I had the privilege of designing, a book telling the remarkable story behind George Sissel’s one-of-a-kind, hand-carved chess set.
What makes this project so special is the incredible craftsmanship, history and story behind the set. My role was to take all of those pieces, the photographs, the history and the details, and bring them together into a book that honors the work and gives the chess set the presentation it deserves.
Here’s a little peek inside the finished book. I hope you enjoy seeing a few of the spreads!
