ZIZI DONOHOE

This Purling Art Chess set was hand-painted by British-born fashion designer Zizi Donohoe. It features a striking colour combination of peach and blue tones, with clouds and marble-like patterns. The playing area spans the entire board and the wraps round the sides of the board.  

Working from her Los Angeles based studio, Zizi Donohoe channels an obsession with Old Hollywood glamour and the opulence and excess of the eighties, inviting her audience to enjoy an updated take on traditional luxury.

Praised by Vogue for the “elegance and timelessness” of her designs, Zizi has amassed an impressive global clientele of celebrities, philanthropists and real women alike, her pieces can be found at Moda Operandi and Galeries Lafayette Champs Élysées.

A unique new Purling bracket enables this chess board to hang on the wall as a painting for display and storage and ‘float’ above the table when in play.
