Largest chess piece

The largest chess piece ever was made by Mats Allanson (Sweden) and is a king which is 4 m ( 13.1 ft) high and 1.4 m (4.5 ft) in diameter at the base. The king is one of four made by Mats, the others are the bishop, pawn and rock in proportion to the king. All were made out of wood and hand-finished.

Largest glass print

The largest glass print is 4.92 m (16 ft 1 in) by 42.24 m (138 ft 6 in) and was created by Peter Ahlen and Lutt Jeorell of Art On Glass (Sweden). Two giant images were mounted on Kungsbrohuset in Stockholm, Sweden, and the installation was completed in June 2010. The artwork contains two separate images of a forest motif and a meadow motif taken from the Smedsmora nature reserve. Each image is made up of 96 glass pieces.
