The Challenge
The New Originals set out to create their first-ever tabletop game product from scratch: a chess set that embodies their creative vision. They sought a partner to turn this concept into reality, requiring comprehensive support throughout the process with a strong emphasis on local production. This project demanded innovative thinking—embracing their belief that thinking outside the box drives creativity. The goal was to ensure the final product resonated with their brand and redefined the potential of 3D-printed products.
The Process
We partnered closely with The New Originals at every stage. From brainstorming sessions to design refinement, our involvement was hands-on. We crafted a stunning 3D-printed chess set and supported the development of the impressive XXL version. Our approach went beyond production; we focused on creating pieces that left a lasting impact. Through careful testing and iteration, we ensured every part of the set aligned with their vision and identity.
Outcome
What began as a concept evolved into a transformative experience. The chess sets were celebrated not only as innovative designs but also as recognized art pieces, pushing the boundaries of how 3D-printed products are perceived. Available for purchase on The New Originals' website, they gained acclaim at various chess tournaments. The XXL version became a traveling exhibition piece, showcased at the prestigious 83rd Tata Steel Chess Tournament, the Rijksmuseum, and other events. This project reflects our mission to inspire joy and imagination through creativity and collaboration.
Key Takeaway
For The New Originals, this chess set represented a leap into new creative territory. For Space Junk, it exemplified our dedication to turning dreams into reality and showcased how we transcend traditional 3D printing to create meaningful experiences that connect products with the world in unforgettable ways.
