PLUZ｜Puzzling the Planks

This is a three-dimensional sculpture built from specially designed and crafted Hinoki cypress boards.
Assembling these boards as a spatial puzzle presents numerous challenges and delightful discoveries. 
The completed form reveals different spatial impressions depending on the viewing angle, and from a specific viewpoint, the square face of a cube clearly emerges.
The structure resembles a unique piece of architecture: the irregularly interwoven wooden planes resemble walls, dividing the interior into a variety of spatial zones.
With its rich sculptural presence and layered internal language, this piece fits beautifully into various settings—whether as an interior art object, an educational toy, or a creative play item for parents and children.
