This shiny token is made of four interwoven metal pieces. The components are locked together by some sort of hidden mechanism. It is possible to separate the pieces with blind experimentation and luck. However, if you truly understand the method of the puzzle, you will discover an alternate configuration that requires an entirely different, and far more difficult, solution!

Designed by Vesa Timonen of Finland. Manufactured by Hanayama of Japan.

Sofia ★★★★★

Took me a solid evening of fumbling, but that moment when the hidden mechanism finally gave way and all four pieces clicked apart was pure satisfaction. The interlocking design is tighter than it looks, and the shiny finish makes it a nice desk piece even when you’re not puzzling over it.

Lucy ★★★★★

The four pieces feel satisfyingly heavy and cool in your palm, and after maybe twenty minutes of fumbling I finally coaxed them apart—pure luck but a great little brain workout for a coffee break.

Zoe ★★★★★

The interlocking mechanism is genuinely clever—I spent a good hour just trying to figure out how the four metal pieces fit together before they finally came apart. Each piece has a satisfying weight to it, and even after solving it I keep going back to reassemble it.
