The Egg

Simplicity and gentleness

"How do you eat an egg?" This is the riddle posed by master craftsman Akio Kamei with this iconic conceptual box. Forget everything you know about traditional puzzles. "Egg" has no sliding panels or a set sequence. It's a challenge to your intuition, an invitation to listen and feel the secret it holds within.

A Puzzle of Intuition and Sensation

The secret to "Egg" lies in an ingenious internal mechanism. To open it, you don't follow a specific number of steps, but gently shake the box and interpret the sounds and vibrations. A dialogue begins between you and the object. The solution might be found in a single inspired move, or after a hundred patient attempts. The only rule: handle it gently. It is a unique and deeply satisfying solving experience.

The Work of a Creative Master

Created in 1999 by the legendary Akio Kamei, one of the founders of the Karakuri Creation Group, "Egg" is a classic and timeless piece. Crafted from cherry wood, its soft, clean shape is deceptive. It hides a complexity that is not visual, but sensory. This is an essential collector's item that perfectly illustrates the creative genius of its designer.
