Our kalimba window at Two Otters Toy Store on the Downtown Design Trail, May 2024.

For Design Victoria 2024 we were one of ten designers on the Downtown Design Trail, a free, self-guided tour that paired designers with downtown shop windows from May 9 to 12.

At Two Otters Toy Store on Fort Street, “Rethinking the Kalimba” showed how we turned a 3,000-year-old thumb piano into an instrument you won't want to put down. At Coastline Surf and Sport on Broad Street, the window walked through how we designed and prototyped the Wetsuit Wrench.

We also gave an ANCORD x Puzzle Lab puzzle as a trail contest prize. Thanks to Two Otters and Coastline for the windows.
