Details
In a world of rented symbols, watches, cars and logos, the Aureus Set was crafted to be something more enduring. A centrepiece of presence, not performance.
The gold-finished pieces are inspired by victory, a reflection of the milestones earned along the journey. Their counterparts, sculpted in obsidian-black, represent the silence, strategy, and unseen effort that builds success. Together, they stand on a marble-grained board - no two exactly alike.
Limited to just 150 hand-numbered sets, this is not mass luxury. It’s modern artefact.
Dimensions - 40cm x 40cm x 1.5cm
