London’s most-notable architecture takes on New York’s skyline in this special edition. Big Ben, London Eye, St Mary Axe, The Shard and Canary Wharf play against Brownstone House, Guggenheim, Flatiron, Chrysler, Empire State Building and One World Trade Tower.
This monochrome acrylic set plays a perfect nod to the concrete tones within the world of architecture, while allowing the form and detail of each building to be truly appreciated.
As each piece is handmade, small imperfections can happen. This part of the handmade process is what makes the products unique and should not be seen as a fault. Each set comes complete with a hand screen-printed marble hatch playing board and in a presentation box.
