Brass & Patina:
Brass is a living material that evolves with touch and time. As you handle Slide Away, the surface will gradually develop a natural patina – a warm, darker sheen that reflects its journey and use. This transformation makes each puzzle unique, carrying the imprint of its owner’s interaction and care.
