Cyrice Griffith is passionate about art, architecture and design—and she channels that passion into creating one-of-a-kind chess and checker sets that celebrate both the games and the spirit of artistic adventure. Between moves, Griffith took time to give us a look into her process—including her hunt for materials, creators who inspire her, and what drives her to continually rearrange her space.

It started with a gift—a set I designed for my son when he was nine, after he taught me how to play.

With each new creation, I found myself reimagining the board as a landscape for connection.
