Time - 4 - T

“I am always intrigued by everything that Alexander designs. This diminutive and very pretty puzzle is made from Maple and Purpleheart and is vibrantly gorgeous despite being only 42mm across each side and 15mm thick. It’s as portable as any Hanayama puzzle and much more attractive. Alexander has been emulating Osanori Yamamoto again with a puzzle consisting of 4 shapes trapped in a frame requiring them to be removed. This is a new idea for Alexander and yet again he shows his mastery of all aspects of puzzle design. Also on show is the Pelikan boys mastery of woodcraft – despite being so tiny, every piece has been made with supreme precision and the movement of everything is smooth and perfect. This is not a difficult puzzle but it is delightful to explore with some nice Aha! moments as you work through. Having dismantled it, I would advise leaving the pieces for a few hours before trying to reassemble. It is definitely doable and leaves you with a great sense of achievement”

This very small puzzle was crafted in Europe with absolutely fantastic quality. Each of the puzzles of Pelikan design are unparalleled in their class! Every piece of the puzzle is precisely cut and very well made; you cannot find its equal anywhere else. The diversity in wood makes each puzzle a unique masterpiece.
