222. John Dickson Carr: Mapback kit
atelier ying, nyc
Carr's novels belong to period and genre of mystery writing, full of nostalgic touches like the built-in elements of this vintage set.
Hidden clues are embedded into the kit, with markers. They are shown on a future drawing to be uploaded. The mahogany chest has three drawers with tools that bring the typical locked room puzzle to life.
My design takes its inspiration from WWII Monopoly game sets that were given to British POW's with escape tools hidden in the game pieces, made by the company Waddingtons.
An electric torch, a compass, a map making kit, an architectural model making kit using metal ties and candle wax as the adhesive, monogrammed chocolates and a tea set shaped like a pagoda bring all the cozy thrill of mystery and adventure to the hearth side.
