Description
From the Ludignum website:
What feels like a way forward is sometimes only the path back to where we began.

The Detour Box reflects the idea that progress isn’t linear, paths turn unexpectedly, and the signs that show we are going astray are often overlooked. What starts with clear intention gently bends — returning you to familiar ground with a newfound understanding.

Detour isn’t about being lost; it’s about discovery through redirection—where uncertainty becomes part of the design, and arrival is found in reflection as much as motion.
