It is quite common to find in the industry sets of products whose pieces are different among them, but they are part of a common collection, i.e. a set of crockery, a fashion collection, a lamp series (bedside table lamp, living room lamp, reading lamp, wall light...). 

A designer with such a task should understand the concept of "set", where an ensemble of elements should keep a coherence with the entirety. The different pieces of the set should share a visual, formal, material and conceptual cohesion. 

Students must design a family of chess pieces including the King, Queen, Knight, Bishop, Rook, and Pawn. Build a prototype in a 1/1 scale of the whole set: the 16 pieces. In this game as in many others, the play is based on a battle between two sides.
