Locknesters are a different kind of designer toy. They are the result of a fascination with unconventional geometries and a desire to make toys that encourage interaction. Locknesters could be thought of as three dimensional jigsaw puzzles, each model can be taken apart and assembled, used as a challenge to friends, a distraction from work, or to liven up a room.
Locknesters are produced in their Brooklyn headquarters using old and new manufacturing techniques. Kidrobot partnered with architect turned designer toy maker and creator of Locknesters, Fleet Hower, to create this incredible piece for Kidrobot fans. Each of these pieces are 3D printed and then smoothed using a series of methods that involve sanding, tumbling, and buffing. The tumbling process makes each piece unique by giving them a striated coloration. As a final step, models are finished with a lacquer spray. The packaging in itself is an art piece and every detail is unique.
Each Kidrobot x Locknesters Dunny 8" Art Figure comes in a white package with the release number 01 and individual piece number stamped on the front. This release is limited to 250 pieces worldwide and only available on Kidrobot.com.
