Dexterity Puzzles featured on Design Observer
Monday, 23 August, 2010
Several years ago, Jessica Helfand (dexterity puzzle collector and partner in Winterhouse design studio) and I, with Martin Venezky (Appetite Engineers), proposed a book about the wonderful world of dexterity puzzles. My personal collection of these impossible to do and visually rich puzzles numbers nearly five hundred. The collection was the subject of the San Francisco Main Public Library's exhibition, In The Palm of Your Hand: Dexterity Games 1880-1960. There is a great feature on dexterity puzzles by Helfand in the current Design Observer
