DESIGN STORY

Inspired by Swiss Precision & Timeless Elegance

Genève reflects the understated sophistication of one of Europe's most distinguished cities.

The rich green nubuck leather paired with a classic black and white chessboard creates a refined contrast inspired by Swiss precision, fine watchmaking and timeless architecture. Elegant without excess, Genève is designed for those who appreciate craftsmanship, balance and enduring style.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Crafted for Every Journey

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 sophisticated finish, Genève is also available with individually hand-lacquered chess pieces, each coated with a durable high-gloss PU finish that enhances both appearance and longevity.

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.
