Workshop
Mora is a workshop located in a small village called Sant Pere de Torelló (Barcelona, Spain) which has been elaborating artisanal chess pieces and wood toys since 1942.
During these last more than 75 years of experience they have preserved the same essence and philosophy of using high quality local products.
Its artists (workers) create, manipulate, touch, examine, take care and paint by hand with a paint brush each piece they elaborate. As an example, they elaborate an outstanding and very characteristic Staunton horse which goes through more than 20 manual operations.
