About this collection

Mount Ararat — the most recognisable symbol of Armenia — carved as a precise contour outline into each of these chess boards. This collection by Hrachya Ohanyan takes a single, iconic silhouette and lets it define the entire board.

The outlined style is distinct from decorative carving: clean, architectural, and immediately recognisable. Whether you are Armenian or simply appreciate the design, these boards carry a meaning that goes beyond the game itself.

Free shipping to the US, Canada and Europe on every order.
