Timeless design. Durable materials.
We combine skilled craftsmanship with clean shapes that suit the Nordic style. Our chess sets are made with care – and built to last, in both expression and use.
Designed to be inherited
At Norwald we make classic chess sets of the highest quality. The idea is that you should be able to play with them your whole life, and then they can be passed on to the next generations.
Handmade in solid wood
Our chess sets are made by some of the world’s most skilled chess makers in the Punjab region of India. An area known for its tradition and craftsmanship.
The master craftsman behind our sets has more than 25 years of experience and has created pieces for both the World Chess Championship and other major international tournaments. The craft itself has been refined over generations.
We use walnut, boxwood, maple, and acacia – materials chosen for their strength, balance, and timeless character.
