Mahogany Mountain Puzzlers

The Topographic Puzzle Will Have You Assembling Intricate Wood Pieces

— June 7, 2011 — Art & Design
Don't let the deceptively similar pieces of this Topographic Puzzle fool you into thinking it's easy or poorly planned out. In truth, this 18" X 13" block of wood may take up to hours to solve because the pieces are visually so indistinguishable from one another.

The Topographic Puzzle comes to us courtesy of Etsy seller Artios, who charged $445 for the mahogany marvel. The puzzle itself was made to resemble a mountain range and is held inside a maple frame.

Those looking to buy the Topographic Puzzle for themselves will be disappointed to learn that Artios already sold the one-of-a-kind jigsaw to a very fortunate buyer, but admirers of the puzzle can still look at the pictures or better yet try to build one on their own.
Trend Themes
1. Topographic Puzzles - The rise in popularity of puzzles with intricate and visually similar pieces, presenting an opportunity for puzzle manufacturers to create unique and challenging puzzles for consumers.
2. One-of-a-kind Puzzles - The demand for unique and individualistic puzzles, reflecting an opportunity for puzzle makers to create puzzles that are tailored to individuals or limited edition pieces for collectors.
3. Custom-made Puzzles - The trend for personalized games and puzzles, producing an opportunity for puzzle makers to offer customized puzzles with unique designs or personalized messages.
Industry Implications
1. Puzzle Manufacturing - The growth in demand for unique, challenging, and custom-made puzzles presents an opportunity for puzzle makers to expand their product range and cater to specific market segments.
2. Online Marketplaces - The rise in popularity of unique, one-of-a-kind, and personalized puzzles provides an opportunity for online marketplaces like Etsy or Amazon Handmade to offer a wider variety of puzzle options for consumers.
3. Woodworking - The growing trend of wooden puzzles that are visually unique and complex offers an opportunity for woodworking companies to create and sell custom made decorative puzzles.
