CHECK MATES

If The Queen’s Gambit didn’t convince you of the style credentials of chess, FontanaArte’s latest limited-edition reissue surely will. Created by Milanese artist Bobo Piccoli in 1968, the ‘Re’ and ‘Regina’ lamps are inspired by the game’s king and queen pieces. Their soft, ethereal glow can be controlled via a dimmer. From approx £1,570 (fontanaarte.com).
