Re-Edition des Ensembles bestehend aus Schachfiguren und Tisch

Isamu Noguchi (1904 - 1988) entwickelte dieses Ensemble 1944 für die Ausstellung «Imagery of Chess» in der Julien Levy Gallery in New York. Julien Levy hatte die Ausstellung zusammen mit Marcel Duchamp und Max Ernst kuratiert.

Die Neuauflage ist in einer Kooperation von Ameico, IC Design und der Isamu Noguchi Foundation entstanden, während die Produktionsentwicklung und Herstellung von tät-tat übernommen wurde.

Noguchi verband seine künstlerische Leidenschaft mit einem tiefen Respekt für die Geschichte und Traditionen der östlichen, wie auch der westlichen Kulturen. Besonders angetan hatten es ihm historische indische und persische Schachformen. Verstärkt wurde dies wohl durch seine Liebesbeziehung mit Tara Pandit, der Nichte des indischen Premierministers Jawaharlal Nehru. Anstelle der üblichen weissen und schwarzen Figuren und Bretter des Westens, kopierte Noguchi indische schwarze Lackbretter mit kreisförmigen Einsätzen. Seine Figuren fertigte er in durchscheinendem Rot und Grün an, was an die Rubine und Smaragde erinnert, die die legendären Schachfiguren der frühen indischen Rajahs schmückten. Alle Figuren bis auf den Turm haben kopfartige Formen und gewölbte Stacheln.

Der Mangel an hochwertigen Materialien während des Krieges begrenzte und inspirierte Noguchi. Für diesen Entwurf entwickelte er ein einfaches System, bei dem dünne, konturierte Materialebenen zusammengeklebt wurden, die die Objekte in die finale Objektdimension transponierten. In seinen Skulpturen verfolgte er später diese Idee für längere Zeit weiter. Neu war für diese Zeit auch das Plexiglas, das als Material zur Herstellung durchsichtiger Flugzeugkanzeln und Geschütztürme entwickelt worden war (The imagery of Chess revisited, herausgegeben von Larry List).

tät-tat finalisierte die Umsetzung des faltbaren Brettes, der Figuren und den Innenausbau der Verpackung.

Cord coverage solution
Color: White
I got this to cover the cabes under my desk. The white color blends well with the desk and the room colors. You can cover a lot of cables with it as long as they are not too heavy or bulky. Make sure to clean the area where you place the hooks or they detach after a while.

Great solution
Color: White
It’s embarrassing to say that I love this thing. Nothing falls out, it’s completely hidden, I’m so glad I didn’t go with one of those attachable C shaped wire basket things. It’s absolutely perfect. We have a motorized sit stand desk.

Amazing. A bit of a job to set it up but worth it!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Excellent quality. Sturdy and strong. The screws that come with it are awful. Get yourself some different ones. Takes a while to set it up and get it all measured. I did it while I was setting up my new Flexi-spot E7 Plus standing desk. Wanted to get it all done at the same time. At first. I thought it might be overkill, but I am sooooo glad I did get this. Now my computer moves along with the desk. It looks great. I bet it has improved the air flow around my computer as well. Looks sleek and cool. I might have set it a bit too tight around my case and as a result I have to shimmy it to get it out of the holder if I have to do any work on the computers internals. But at least I know it's secure. My suggestion would be to leave a little bit of slack to avoid this in your setup. Maybe like a 1/4 inch would be ok. The pads should hold it in place anyway. May loosen mine up if I find the time. But it feels totally secure on the desk with no wobble or shaking. Great product. Also I'm a woman in my late fifties 😃and I was able to set it all up on my own. So don't be intimidated ladies, you can do it too. I also bought two of the ultimate set up cable management trays. Great products. Note for anyone from the Ultimate Setup company who might read this. Please provide better quality wood screws and some extra ones) I stripped three of the cheap ones that came with this. And it took forever to drill them in because they weren't strong enough. Then it would be perfect.
