Entry Description

ORIChess is a modular chess set inspired by the philosophy and geometry of origami.
Each piece and the foldable board are formed from a single sheet, merging structure and packaging into one system.
Made from sustainable beech wood and bio-based papers, it reduces material waste and production cost.
ORIChess connects mindfulness, strategy, and play — a timeless, tactile object that invites calm thinking and curiosity.
