Interlocking

Objective

The aim of the Box Kumiki puzzle is to dismantle and then reassemble the pieces into a cube or box shape.

History & Trivia
The Box Kumiki designed by Geoff Wyvill, is rooted in the Japanese art of interlocking wooden puzzles. Historically, carpenters used Kumiki to practice creating tight, seamless joints. The cube-shaped Kumiki puzzles, such as the Box Kumiki, represent an evolution toward abstract and geometric forms, focusing more on mechanics than form. The Box Kumiki puzzle was designed to create durable and precise structures without nails. The shift toward more abstract forms, like the cube, allowed artisans to focus on the puzzle’s interlocking mechanism.
