PRINTWORKS proudly announces a new design collaboration with internationally acclaimed chess player Anna Cramling. The result is a chessboard that unites Anna's passion for the game with PRINTWORKS' signature design aesthetic - created to inspire a new generation to discover the world of chess.

At just 23, Anna Cramling has become one of the most influential voices in the chess community. A Woman FIDE Master, she has represented Sweden in multiple Chess Olympiads and reaches over 2.7 million followers across YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch - platforms where she makes chess accessible, inclusive, and social.



Together with PRINTWORKS, Anna launches her first design collaboration - a chessboard where every detail reflects both thoughtful design and functional intent. Launching September 1, the board is crafted from Schima superba wood, known for its rich tones and subtle sheen.

"I've dreamed of creating my own chessboard for years. With Printworks, that dream has finally come true. The board is a beautiful balance of design and functionality - the perfect first board for anyone starting out. I hope you'll love it as much as I do," says Anna Cramling.

To support new players, the board features subtle notation along the edges - a discreet yet helpful detail for learning and analysis. Designed for strategic play as well as social moments, the board also serves as a decorative piece that reminds us of chess's unique power to bring people together.

"As a design brand with a strong presence in the world of chess, creating a professional-level chessboard felt like a natural next step. And doing it together with Anna Cramling made perfect sense. She represents the next generation and is a powerful voice in a traditionally male-dominated world. We're incredibly proud to launch this collaboration together," says Annette Gårdö, CEO and founder of PRINTWORKS.
