A Beautiful Coat Rack Made From an Upcycled Chess Board Positioned in the Classic Caro–Kann Defence

Craftsman Volker Rieck of Creative Holz in Blieskastel, Germany has created a beautiful chess board coat rack that's positioned in the classic Caro-Kann Defence. Rieck, who gets a lot of ideas from items he finds at flea markets, started with an upcycled board, added the necessary game pieces and built a convenient shelf on top.

(translated) Original coathook from an old chess board. Wonderful inlaid work with a double border of the field. A specific feature of the chess board - it is not quite right-angled. This is to be looked for the purposes of the philosophy of the Upcycling, not as a lack The chess rotated in the vertical is already a strange appearance. " The figure position shows the "Caro of Kann defense".

The coat rack and some of Riek's other wonderful creations can be purchased through the Creative Holz Etsy Shop.
