Roger Carthew from Espace is an environmentalist, lobbyist and entrepreneur who has revolutionised the stereotypical chess board by creating the new look travel friendly chess board which has the added bonus of being environmentally sound.

Made from all recycled materials including car tyres, wood and metal; the Pink Turtle chess boards are set to reshape the once traditional game of chess. Each chess board can be tailor made, giving individuals the freedom to design their own one-of-a-kind board.

The game of chess has existed for nearly 1400 years and currently the number of registered players in Australia stands at 30,000, with the game being popular with everyone from primary school children through to the elderly.

Roger Carthew of Espace says, “Whilst the chess board will appeal to experienced chess players for their tailor made charm, we’re also aiming it at the new generation of chess players who are looking for a modernised approach to the game. So whether you want a photo or your name printed on the board to personalize it or even a chess board in your beloved football club colours – we can make it happen!”

Roger Carthew continued, “The fact that the chess boards are made from all recycled materials is obviously another reason why they have proved so popular. At Espace we are very focused on moving away from disposable products and instead replacing them with recycled products that are built for sustainability.”

The reinvented look of the Pink Turtle chess boards makes it easily transportable, the flexible system and digital technologies allow the board to be rolled up for easy storage.

The Pink Turtle chess board is an ideal Christmas gift and is the perfect travel game for family holidays.
