The Magnum Queen is Baci Milano's most commanding presence in the Optical collection — the chess queen rendered as a large-format polyresin sculpture that brings the board's most powerful piece into the gallery of the home. Bold, monochrome, and unmistakably Italian in its design wit.
The Optical collection lives at the intersection of op-art and chess strategy: rigorous black-and-white geometric patterns wrap the Queen's sculptural curves, shifting in visual weight as you move around the piece. What appears as a flat grid from one angle reveals surprising depth from another — a three-dimensional illusion drawn from the same conceptual playbook as Vasarely and Bridget Riley, realized at Casa Baci in Milan. The monochrome discipline here is not restraint; it is the quiet confidence of black and white against everything.
At Magnum scale, the Queen anchors a bookshelf in a design-forward Dubai villa, commands an executive's desk in a DIFC office, or holds court on a lobby console that treats décor as a collected art. Monochrome sculpture carries particular authority in interiors built around contrast — and this piece earns attention long after the first glance.
Pair two Magnum Queens — black-dominant and white-dominant — as mirror bookends, or build a vertical composition with Maxi and Midi companions. The chess game, installed.
