Handmade Tunisian Olive Wood Chess Set with Drawers and Wonky Legs

moannaKai Olive Wood Chess Set – Handcrafted with Drawers, Wild Edges & Soulful Imperfection

For those who see beauty in the imperfect, the worn, the wildly unique—this moannaKai Handmade Olive Wood Chess Set is more than a game. It’s a story carved into wood, touched by sun, salt, and the passage of time. Handcrafted in Tunisia from aged, sustainably sourced olive trees, this board invites you into a slower rhythm, one move at a time.

No two are ever alike—the board’s live edges are rugged and raw, echoing the ancient groves from which the wood came. Knots, cracks, and bold grain patterns trace across its surface like a weathered map, while the slightly wonky legs give it a crooked charm, standing proud in its imperfection.

Tucked beneath the board are two handcrafted drawers, lightly distressed and just big enough to hold the chess pieces when the game pauses for wine, conversation, or twilight. Each piece feels like it’s lived a little—softly chipped, weighty, and infused with the earthy scent of olive wood—as if it’s played through stories of its own.

Whether placed on a porch at golden hour or beside a fireplace on a quiet evening, this chess set adds an intimate, grounded beauty to any space. It’s functional art, sustainably made, and durable enough for decades of thoughtful play.
