The gorgeous mid century wooden stylized 16 Animali puzzle (also known as the Sedici Animali Puzzle) was designed by notable Italian designer Enzo Mari for Danese Milano, Italy, 1957-60.  This original creation by Enzo Mari underlines a double function: it is a puzzle object and also a "construction game" that allows a free composition of elements. Made of precious wood. 16 Animali can be considered a small art sculpture for your home, the elements can be used both individually and in multiple compositions.  Here are 16 animals, all recognizable on sight. They fit into one another jig-saw-fashion and can also be stood upright because the vertical position is balanced by the thickness of the material they are made of.
