It’s not often that curiosity and concept driven products resonate with consumers. Often times the personal obsessions and curiosities of the creators and designers get lost in translation, resulting in a product that has difficulty finding a consumer base. That is not the case with Craighill, a New York-based design studio with a creative process that involves exploration of materials, functionality, and efficiency, creating beautiful objects for your person and home. Simply put, they create new objects and look for new ways to make your day just a little better.
One object that will be sure to capture your attention is the Craighill Jack Puzzle — a desk object, paper weight, and an imaginative distraction. The six different notched brass bars are milled in Massachusetts and interlocks in one specific way to create a unified “jack” shape. Weighing 1 pound, it’s hefty weight should feel satisfying in your hands. Just make sure that you’re ready to take on a challenge, as it may not be as simple to put it back together once you take it apart.
