The Lockdown May Soon Be Over,

but I am guessing many people will continue with their new hobby of jigsaws,


with that is mind here are a few that are slightly different, round jigsaw puzzles,

they are from Nervous System,


this is their puzzle page,

for radial puzzles like the ones above, this is from their radial page,

Jigsaw puzzles for the 21st century! Each generative puzzle is a one of a kind creation with unique art and pieces. Our goal is to marry the artistry of traditional, hand-crafted jigsaw puzzles with the possibilities of new technologies. Custom software simulates crystal growth to create an organic interlocking pattern. Our laser cutter translates this into a unique set of plywood pieces. We collaborated with contemporary digital artists who created engaging artwork for the puzzles.
size: 7.75" circle
material: 1/4" birch plywood
number of pieces: approximately 80
packaging: black box with unique label

To create the organic shape of the pieces, we designed a system based the simulation of dendritic solidification, a crystal growth process similar to the formation of snowflakes that occurs in supercooled solutions of certain metallic alloys. By varying the parameter space, it can produce a variety of cut styles, 

are they easy? watch to video to find out! great fun.
