Clever Design: A Zero-Waste Flatpack Chessboard and Pieces Made from a Single Sheet
I like the surface to volume ratio. One sneeze and chess time is over.
While using the negative cut-outs as the opposing pieces is a clever idea, it is poor design as shown by the need to add icons to the base to identify the negative pieces. Too many designers get tunnel vision on one particular aspect of the product which then results in inferior overall design.
Clever design but again, misleading title. This is not "zero waste" since there are about 100 holes cut into the board.
