Jonathan McCabe is a talented artist that inspires with his amazing jigsaw creations. Nervous System, a remarkable design studio, teamed up with McCabe and is selling mind-bending puzzles featuring his original designs.
The complex jigsaw pieces are creating using custom software which creates a design unique to each puzzle. The designs created by the software are then transferred to a wooden plank, and laser cut for extreme precision. The geometric shape of each piece, as unusual as the Jonathan McCabe illustrations, are something to behold. The science-fueled and complex process is spelled out in an accompanying video, which is hypnotizing and education all at once.
A combination of both nostalgic and cutting-edge, these amazing art-infused jigsaw puzzles are better described as decoration than as toys.
