Hello Everyone, I am an Architect Designer Named Louis Lian
Founder of DG ELI Interior Design Co., Ltd.(CHINA)

Since 2019, I have been using my spare time to design and create architectural models such as the Kaufmann Desert House, the Azuma House, and the Eames House. These models have gained considerable popularity among our circle of designers. With the support of several designer friends, I decided to turn these models into products and began selling them.

Although product design is not my main profession, as my design thinking advanced and my experience grew, I came up with an interesting idea: Why do puzzles have to have markings? When I assemble puzzles myself, I rarely look at the markings. Finding pieces by referring to markings can be quite frustrating. Why not design a puzzle without any markings? Then I Doing this! And that’s how the UnMarked Puzzle was born!

I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to share any suggestions for improvement—I’d love to hear your ideas!Cantact

Unmar, short for “unmarked,” emerged from my extensive experience in designing architectural models and assembling commercial building puzzles. I gradually realized that rigidly following instruction manuals trapped me in a monotonous cycle: “check number → find corresponding part → retrieve and assemble according to numbered diagrams.” Personally, I rarely rely on part numbers when building models—instead, I prefer locating components directly based on the visual design displayed on the colored box, unless the structure is exceptionally complex.

This prompted me to reconsider: why not minimize or even eliminate these numbering systems altogether? I aim to guide users toward adopting my intuitive approach, as I believe an image-driven assembly process feels more engaging and inherently natural. By reducing dependency on numbered instructions in my latest designs, I hope to offer users a more fluid and enjoyable experience. Moreover, this visual thinking method significantly benefits children’s cognitive development—it encourages them to think like artists from an early age!

1. [Think Like a Designer] The instruction manual innovatively replaces text labels with visual cues, encouraging kids to think like designers and assemble through image-based logic. This not only makes building more fun but also cultivates critical thinking skills with lifelong impact.
