{"product_id":"pieuvre-invisible-puzzle-en-bois","title":"The Invisible Octopus Wooden Puzzle","description":"\u003ch3\u003eEight arms, and more edge than anything else we cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe octopus holds its head high with all eight arms fanned out below, most of them curling back on themselves, worked in full-spectrum ornament – coral pink, turquoise, gold, violet and green – inside a turquoise outline. A heart is worked into the crown of the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every arm has its own outline and most of them coil, this board has more edge relative to its area than anything else we make. Against a patterned wall the shape almost disappears; against a plain one it reads immediately. The real animal would approve – an octopus vanishes at will into whatever it sits on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the difficulty concentrates\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe arms. Each one tapers and curls, so the pieces along them are narrow and long, and a piece from the third arm looks perfectly at home in the sixth arm's gap until the shape refuses it. Colour barely separates them, since the same palette runs the length of every limb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe head is the exception. It carries the densest ornament, the two eyes and the heart, and it is the only part of the board with a fixed orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe creatures hidden in the cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the pieces are sea creatures in their own right – a seahorse, a dolphin, a turtle, small fish, even an anchor lift out of the board as complete silhouettes. Finding them is the first pleasure of opening the box; fitting the arms around them is the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it gets built\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHead first, then each arm worked outward from where it meets the body, one at a time rather than in parallel. Trying to assemble loose arm sections before they are attached produces pieces that fit each other but belong somewhere else entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt ships in a wooden box with a sliding lid, the pieces bagged in linen inside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creatifwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256688951427,"sku":"PC061","price":32.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/8818\/8035\/files\/TRN02044.jpg?v=1780866640","url":"https:\/\/creatifwood.fr\/en\/products\/the-invisible-octopus-wooden-puzzle","provider":"Creatifwood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
