    Early concept sketches showed a chess set design with conical metal pieces wrapped around steel tubing to form rings, allowing the pieces to stack for transport while minimizing fabrication work, as the original idea to use flaming steel pieces was deemed too unsafe. Sketches included the chess board design as well as sketches of the bishop, knight, pawn, rook, queen, and king pieces.

    Concept Sketches
    Here are some early sketches that Marianna did. These really help give an idea of what we're
    trying to accomplish with the set. We originally had hoped to use fire in the pieces, but time and
    safety constraints (can you imagine picking up a flaming steel chess piece?) have forced us to
    use electronic lighting instead. The "bodies" of the pieces are all conical -- sheet metal wrapped
    around steel tubing bent into rings. This shape allows the pieces to stack for transport and also
    minimizes the amount fabrication work.
