Description
The product you have before you is 100% made in Italy. It is laser cut & hand finished in the hills of Trivero in Piemonte, approximately two hour's drive from Milan, where Looodus is based. The puzzle is a true collaboration between designer & artisan, exploring the possibilities of computer aided design & hand finished products. A marriage of new technologies & pride in a craft handed down from father to son. Each puzzle goes through numerous checks & re-finishes to ensure a product which is precise & modern while being unmistakably artisanal. Extreme care has been taken by Looodus to use a manufacturer who shares the our values with attention to craft & quality while ensuring that the product is as environmentally friendly as possible. The process begins with the selection of wood used to create this beautiful piece. All the plywood is FSC (Forestal Stewardship Council) certified Poplar from the surrounding Padana Plane. This is where the majority of Poplar is grown for Italian paper & the carpentry sectors. The concept for the Puzzle, like many of Looodus' products, are born from observation of the designer's baby daughter & the real life experience of being a first time parent. The Fonts were selected to be appropriate for their shape & size but also have a special place in the world of design. The colours have been checked & tested to offer a harmonious range across Green, Blue & Red. The continued interaction of our number one client Allegra, & the product has become a bountiful source of inspiration for future projects. "There are opportunities which arise every day to be creative & make quick fun toys for her, using the most rudimentary materials & sometimes these mini prototypes can become more refined products," explains Kurt Stapelfeldt, Co-founder & Looodus Chief Designer.
