Remember those stubborn old radios? Akio Kamei humorously draws inspiration from them for "Bad Radio," a Karakuri puzzle box with character. Forget the usual gentle touch; this box requires a more... direct approach.
The Ill-Tempered Puzzle BoxLike an old radio that crackles, "Bad Radio" doesn't cooperate easily. Its creator, the legendary Akio Kamei, challenges you: remember how we used to get those recalcitrant devices working back in the day? Sometimes, a little tap (or more!) was necessary... Therein lies the secret to unlocking this unique box and revealing its two hidden compartments.
Created in September 2025, this rare limited edition is a mischievous nod to objects of yesteryear. Carefully crafted from teak, rosewood, and maple, its retro design hides a mechanism as surprising as it is amusing. It is a work representative of Akio Kamei's genius, a master in the art of turning the everyday into an enigma.
