Wooden box with yosegi veneer in a zigzag pattern and the word 'DETOUR' and an arrow engraved on the top pointing to the right.

The Detour Box

What feels like a way forward is sometimes only the path back to where we began.

The Detour Box reflects that quiet paradox: progress that isn’t linear, puzzles that turn unexpectedly, and discoveries made by noticing the subtle shifts along the way. What starts with clear intention gently bends—returning you to familiar ground with a different understanding.

Detour isn’t about being lost; it’s about discovery through redirection—where uncertainty becomes part of the design, and arrival is found in reflection as much as motion.
