nendo: swarovski crystal puzzle


'crystal-puzzle'

'crystal-puzzle' by japanese designer nendo, consists of swarovski puzzle components created
by repeatedly making linear cuts into a large piece of crystal. when taking the crystal block apart,
the cuts of the puzzle allow people to retrace the production process of the piece, as well as revealing
a sparkling gem within.

'crystal-puzzle' will be presented during milan design week 2010.

when separated, the parts of the crystal block reveal the cuts of the puzzle


up close of the crystal gem which acts as the centre of the puzzle
