DESIGN STORY
Inspired by Contemporary Luxury
Moonlight celebrates the beauty of simplicity.
Its deep black floater leather, soft natural texture and monochrome colour palette create a bold yet understated presence. Inspired by luxury interiors, fine leather accessories and contemporary architecture, Moonlight is designed for those who appreciate modern elegance without unnecessary ornamentation.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Refined Inside and Out
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, Moonlight 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the chess pieces magnetic?
Yes. Every chess piece contains an integrated magnet that securely attaches to the board. This allows comfortable play while travelling, aboard boats, on trains or on any uneven surface without compromising the elegance of a traditional wooden chess set.
Why aren't the magnets stronger?
The magnets have been intentionally calibrated to achieve the ideal balance between stability and playability. Stronger magnets can cause pieces to stick together or lift the leather board during play. MELIA magnets are engineered to keep every piece securely in position while preserving the smooth, natural feel of traditional chess.
Where is the chess set made?
Every MELIA chess set is handcrafted in Europe by experienced leather artisans. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create products designed to last for generations.
What leather is used?
We use premium black full-grain floater leather sourced from LWG Gold certified European tanneries. Its softly textured grain gives the Chess a refined contemporary character while maintaining the durability expected from a luxury leather chess set. Over time the leather develops an elegant natural patina unique to every board.
Can I personalise my chess set?
Yes. Your MELIA Chess can be personalised with initials, names, dates, messages or company logos using our precision laser engraving service.
Due to the black leather finish, engraving is available on the light leather squares where it creates the highest contrast and the most elegant result.
Simply select your preferred laser engraving option before purchasing and enter your engraving request in the "Order special instructions" field during checkout.
Is the chess set suitable for travel?
Absolutely.
The roll-up design was specifically developed for travelling. The flexible leather board rolls into its integrated carrying case within seconds, while the magnetic chess pieces remain securely stored and ready to play wherever you go.
Is this a full-size chess set?
The playing surface measures 38 × 30 cm (15 × 11.8 in) with 3.5 cm (1.38 in) squares, providing a comfortable playing experience while remaining compact enough for travel.
Rolled dimensions are approximately 30 × 7 cm (11.8 × 2.8 in).
What is included?
Every Roll-Up Magnetic Leather Chess Set includes:
• Roll-Up Magnetic Leather Chess Set
• 32 handcrafted magnetic wooden chess pieces (or optional lacquered chess pieces)
• Integrated leather storage roll
• Premium cotton storage bag
• Luxury MELIA gift box
Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes.
Every chess set is presented in a luxury MELIA gift box and is ready to give without additional packaging. Optional personalisation makes it an exceptional gift for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, retirements, corporate gifting and collectors.
How do I care for the leather?
Store your chess set in a dry environment away from prolonged direct sunlight.
Occasionally treat the leather with a high-quality leather care product to preserve its natural appearance and allow it to develop its characteristic patina over time.
Does the product come with a warranty?
Yes. Every MELIA product is carefully inspected before shipment. If your order arrives with a manufacturing defect or has been damaged during transport, please contact our customer service and we will be happy to assist you with a suitable solution.
