Description

Loopy L Cube #1 is Juno’s first assembly-style puzzle — a fresh venue in which he could showcase his signature ingenuity. Juno designed nine V-shaped pieces, each with a clever combination of tabs and holes, which must interlock to form a seemingly simple 3x3x3 cube. But true to Juno’s trademark style, the solution is surprisingly complex, with many near-miss configurations that tempt but ultimately fail. This now very hard-to-find puzzle, crafted from New Guinea Walnut and Silver Ash, with a display tray in PNG Rosewood, has substantial heft, satisfying feel, and artful presence. A true collector’s piece, it exemplifies a balance of tactile beauty and cerebral challenge that defines Juno’s finest work.

Size: 75 x 75 x 75 mm

Material: New Guinea Walnut, Silver Ash, PNG Rosewood

Sad Tempura - Karakuri Idea Contest 2016

The best Karakuri Idea Contest winners combine theme and puzzle. Sad Tempura does so in a particularly satisfying and humorous way, showing an enlarged serving of a single piece of shrimp tempura. This very rare puzzle has three parts: the shrimp tempura, the small bowl that you would dip it in, and the platform on which they both sit. But there’s a problem: the tempura doesn’t fit in the dipping bowl. The puzzle box solution is thematically connected to this conundrum. The work is...
