Omaggio Mario Botta 80

“scacchi  sacri  bOttanta”

A richly detailed chess set in solid pear and maple, executes with mastery (1), as an eternal homage to a great architect and warm-hearted fellow human being. Connection and interaction between architecture, art, craftsmanship, ingenuity, strategy, passion, life and play.

"un atto d'amore"          "un acte d'amour"          "an act of love"

 

A selection from the vast favorite oeuvre of religious buildings together forms a new imaginary city, as it were, up to you to mold it to your liking. At the express request of architetto Mario Botta, a signed, numbered limited 1° edition of 80 pieces is on offer. As a bonus, a customised, possibly self-built or fully ready-to-play LEGO version is also available.
