Ridge Block Puzzle // Blue Green

A quietly captivating 3D puzzle crafted from Paper-Wood, the innovative plywood developed by Takizawa Plywood in Hokkaido. Made by laminating layers of coloured recycled paper between each sheet of veneer, Paper-Wood reveals a clean, rhythmic striped cross-section, its most expressive feature when cut into sculptural forms.

This puzzle uses subtle height differences and sloped surfaces to create three-dimensional graphics that shift as you arrange the pieces. By rotating, aligning, or stacking the blocks, new patterns emerge, sometimes orderly, sometimes unexpected, making the puzzle as meditative to explore as it is beautiful to display.

Produced with exceptional care in Hokkaido Japan, every sheet of Paper-Wood is individually checked and hand-finished to ensure a flawless exposed edge. Celebrated by designers and architects worldwide, the material received the Good Design Award in 2010 and continues to be prized for its graphic clarity and craftsmanship.
