DESIGN STORY

Inspired by the Spirit of Ireland

Eire captures the vibrant character of Ireland through colour and craftsmanship.

The rich emerald green nubuck leather reflects Ireland's rolling landscapes, while the bold orange and ivory chess pieces create a distinctive contrast inspired by Irish heritage. Elegant yet playful, Eire is designed for those who appreciate timeless craftsmanship with a confident personality.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Soft to the Touch, Built to Travel

Luxury should never stay at home.

The flexible leather board rolls effortlessly into its compact carrying case, while the magnetic chess pieces remain securely positioned during play. For collectors seeking an even more refined appearance, Eire is also available with individually hand-lacquered orange and ivory chess pieces, each finished with multiple layers of durable PU lacquer for exceptional depth and brilliance.

Engineered Magnetism - Designed to Feel Like Real Chess

Every magnet has been precisely calibrated to create the perfect balance between stability and playability — an engineering detail that is immediately felt with every move.

Unlike conventional magnetic chess sets that rely on maximum holding force, MELIA's magnetic system is intentionally engineered to keep every piece securely in place while preserving the effortless movement of a traditional wooden chess set.

The magnets disappear the moment the game begins — exactly as they should.
