Column

The Column is a two-part mechanical puzzle that hides its mechanism inside a fluted form. The interior shuttle pops out easily. Putting it back in is a different problem. A hidden trick makes reassembly harder than the silhouette suggests.

A Curio original. Designed in Raleigh, NC. Manufactured by long-term partners in Shenzhen. Solved, it sits as a clean architectural object on a desk or shelf. For the design and production story, read How We Designed The Column.
