Robotic Wireless Minimal Walnut Set
Sale Price: $799.00 Original Price: $1,050.00

The Phantom Minimal Walnut Set combines warm wood tones with a modern design language. It's a 21" x 21" board featuring a dark walnut veneer surface with pale maple inlays — a striking contrast that complements the clean, contemporary shapes of the Minimal-style pieces in sapele and maple wood.

Under the board, a precision magnetic mechanism brings your game to life. The pieces move automatically in response to your input from the Phantom app, whether you're playing online or across the table. It's seamless, silent, and spellbinding to watch.

This set includes a full-size, rechargeable Phantom Chessboard, 34 Minimal chess pieces (with 2 extra queens), and full access to the Phantom App. Designed for modern interiors, minimalist desks, and players who appreciate clarity in both form and function.

Important note: The color of the chess pieces and boards can vary due to the use of natural wood. Natural variations in grain and color are inherent to the material’s character and may differ slightly from those shown in the photos.
