Enzo Mari is one of the 20th Century's most storied Italian designers. His iconic Modernist puzzle '16 Animali' was conceived of the thought experiment of a single continuous cut. The editions from the late 50's were produced in that manner. This version from 1972 is produced in expandable resin. This became the first in a series of many puzzles Mari would go on to produce. Danese released a limited run of these puzzles in the early 2000's.

Simply wonderful Italian design!
