Locknesters
Fleet Hower
Producing high-quality design objects is Fleet Hower's passion. Pride in both designing and producing helps him maintain quality control and ensure that the design and production phases are in tune with one another. His sculptures, called Locknesters, are created using a high-quality nontoxic polymer.
Each Locknester is made in the artist's Brooklyn headquarters using a blend of old and new techniques. Each object is digitally designed, 3-D printed, and then smoothed using a series of methods including sanding, tumbling, and buffing. During the smoothing process, every piece obtains distinct coloration, making each one unique.
Hower's background includes both a childhood preoccupied with puzzles and a formal education in architecture. Upon graduation, he launched a design office that primarily collaborated with larger companies on product development and the occasional consultation on larger buildings. Several years in, he shifted directions to focus solely on creating his own work, and the Locknesters were born.

Love this bear. I was immediately drawn to the picture and *hoped* it would look as good upon arrival. Well, he lived up to my expectations. He is the perfect size and is now proudly standing on my mantle. Highly recommend.
I purchased this bear for my 13 year old grandson and he loved it. Anyone who has spent any time around boys that age know what a challenge it is to please them. This puzzle bear did the trick!
Will be appealing to architect son
When I first saw this I thought it pleasantly whimsical and a nice gift for us for our anniversary. When I received it and we opened it we were so happy! There's something about this bear that's almost a protective totem of sorts. It makes both of us smile each time we see it. Thank you so much for this. I couldn't resist - I ordered the dog!
I love this bear. He is so cleverly made. I gave him the name of Oso (Spanish for bear).
So he is Oso adorable.
