Perplexing Shapeshifting Fidget Toys

The 'Shashibo' 3D Magnetic Puzzle Box is Origami-Inspired

The 'Shashibo' 3D magnetic puzzle box has been designed by Andreas Hönigschmid as a perplexing fidget toy that would provide players of all ages with a way to create an array of shapes and designs through fluid movements. The cubic toys are capable of transforming into 70 different shapes and can also be paired with additional units thanks to a series of rear earth magnets within. This could enable players to unlock more than a million different structural designs when they connect two, three or four of the units together.

The 'Shashibo' 3D magnetic puzzle box comes in a range of color options to choose from and, while perfect for younger users, would look right at home on the workstation of a professional.
