Preview of Ravenala Fan
By Krypto
Complexity
Simple
MAIN PURPOSE: Fan letters and cards apart in seven slots
A letter and card fan drawn from the traveller’s palm, whose leaves open in one flat plane. Seven petioles rise from one root and splay apart, so every letter, card or bill drops into its own V, leans at its own angle and stays readable at a glance.

Preview of Strata Gauge
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Read soil layers in a settling jar
A sleeve for the gardener’s soil jar test. Shake a scoop of soil in a 500 ml jar of water, stand it in the sleeve and let it settle into strata as rocks do: sand in a minute, silt in hours, clay over a day. Read each layer through the window against the millimetre marks to find your soil type.

Preview of Druse
By Krypto
Complexity
Multi-part assembly
MAIN PURPOSE: Stand rings in a geode channel and keep studs inside
A ring keeper cut like a split geode: a thick rough rind, an agate band and a hollow core. Rings stand upright by their bands in the narrow channel between rind and band, earrings and studs drop into the core, and the telescoping lid closes the stone.

Preview of Tafoni Wall
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Hang air plants in sandstone-like hollows
A wall garden for air plants after tafoni, the honeycomb hollows wind carves into sandstone cliffs. Seven round cavities of different sizes open in the face; air plants sit on the floor behind the low ones and on the inner shelf behind the high ones, sheltered but in full air and light.

Preview of Causeway
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Sort knitting needles and hooks by length
A stand for knitting needles and crochet hooks built like the Giant’s Causeway. Five hexagonal basalt columns step down from 200 to 40 mm, so long straight needles go in the tall column and double points, cables and hooks in the shorter ones, each sorted by length and in reach.

Preview of Travertine Falls
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Cascade water through stepped pools at bath time
A bath and paddling-pool toy that copies the terraces of Pamukkale. Pour water into the tall pool and it brims over the lowered side rims into two side pools, which spill in turn over their low front weirs into the long pool in front, just as mineral springs build their stepped basins rim by rim.

Preview of Hoodoo
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Keep a cap or hat in shape on a dresser
A hat and cap stand shaped like a desert hoodoo, the rock pillar that survives because a hard cap stone shields it from rain. The wide oval cap holds a crown in shape, the banded column lifts it clear of the dresser and the eroded foot keeps it steady.

Preview of Dreikanter
By Krypto
Complexity
Simple
MAIN PURPOSE: Stand a phone or tablet at three angles by turning it
A phone and tablet stand after the dreikanter, a stone the desert wind grinds into three faces. Rest it on any face and the device stands in the groove of the next: 50 degrees for typing, 60 for video, 70 for reading. Turning the stone is the adjustment.

Preview of Clint & Grike
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Hold pens, cards and a phone in a karst block
A desk block after a limestone pavement, where rain dissolves deep cracks called grikes between square blocks called clints. Here the clints are pen and clip cells, two 4 mm grikes hold cards, notes and envelopes, and the wide grike across the middle stands a phone.

Preview of Seed Crystal
By Krypto
Complexity
Medium
MAIN PURPOSE: Hang seed crystals in a jar of solution
A cap for growing crystals at home. Turn it over a wide jar of hot saturated alum, salt or sugar solution, tie a seed crystal to each of three threads through the holes and let them hang at different depths. The engraved labels keep track of which solution grows which habit.
