Chess set in "The Girl in the Spider's Web" movie - help me identify.
Sort:
Thank you so much Quadibloc, that's exactly the one! The Contemporary Modern Chess Set. And it doesn't seem too pricey. Thanks again!
I'm glad I could help. I searched for modernistic chess sets, looked through a lot of search results, and finally found one where the Pawns matched. It was on Pinterest, so I had to follow it to its real source.
what about the handheld chess the young boy was playing

Here is one place you can get it.

In the opening scene of the movie The Girl in the Spider's Web, we see the two main characters playing chess using a set that is in the Staunton family but with a modernist design based on a cone shape.
The set very much resembles the Classic Series Cone Shaped pieces but with the variation that the pawns and bishops do not have a little ball at the end of their cones, meaning they end in a point.
I think this variation looks very nice and I was wondering if any here on the forum had seen it elsewhere (besides the movie) or perhaps the set was made specifically for the film.
Here is a link to that opening scene:

Any info appreciated.
