A chess set from Terminal 2
This luxury chess set is made from a combination of granite tiles and wooden panel fins which were once part of Changi Airport Terminal 2. With the iconic Changi Airport Control Tower as the king, the rest of the chess pieces in this set were created by abstracting various forms of the Control Tower.
