Description:
Designed in collaboration with Robert Yarger (stickman puzzles) for a puzzle collecting client this cabinet has a variety of mechanical and puzzle features that work together to create a highly interactive piece of furniture.  Once the initial puzzle is solved the cabinet can be easily rotated 360 degrees, as it rotates drawers begin to open and close automatically around the perimeter.  At each stage of rotation additional puzzles need to be solved to access other areas of the cabinet.  There are a variety of mechanically moving components and puzzle mechanisms built into the exterior of the cabinet; everything from spring loaded panels, touch opening mechanisms, magnetic locks, and many more to be found by the owner.  The cabinet was on display on the last day of IPP38 and there will be a video of it moving eventually.
