We've all seen the simpsons and other non-staunton chess sets that can be quite creative. What is the most interesting design you've ever seen?

We have original design here in the Philippines, an Ifugao or Igorot version of chess set. If you can visit Baguio or other Northern part in the philippines you can see this chess set. Made of "Kamagong" or sometimes called "Iron Wood".

Wow... Those are beautiful. Knights and Rooks are great! I may find it hard to differentiate between the bishop and the pawns, though. Great set!

That chess set is awesome! I wish we had sets like that here in the US.
