This handheld maze is a masterclass in material contrast featuring a precision engineered laser cut wood base where the intricate paths are defined by deep charred dark end grains left by the heat of the laser. The complex labyrinth is encased beneath a crystal clear plexiglass top which provides a smooth transparent window into the puzzle while protecting the small metallic ball within. Securing the layers together are five polished brass screws one in each corner and one centered whose golden metallic sheen adds a sophisticated steampunk inspired touch to the organic wood. The combination of the burnt wood edges the industrial clarity of the acrylic and the glint of the brass fasteners transforms a simple tactile game into a refined decorative desktop object.
