The story of Entanglement is based on the journey of Richard His studies in Asian philosophy and art Zawitz used all the knowledge gained from his great mentors to complete a stone carving called First Twist, the work of art beginning the Tangle that we have today. A magnificent stainless steel sculpture, made of 20 sections of 8-inch diameter pipe that rise in a series of endless twisting turns and curves.
Seeing people's reaction to his statue, Zawitz says he needed to create a smaller version of his sculpture that people could hold and experience directly. The charm and attraction of people to the energy that can be spun and the magical sensation found in the spin, in the curvilinear movement of tangles, was quickly recognized. Tangles have an immense calming effect and stimulate the free flow of creativity as people manipulate and play with it, creating infinite movement and play. Each tangle has 18 sections that can be separated or added, or even formed into different shapes to tell stories. With more than 100 million units sold, the original tangle has, in fact, evolved into more than just a toy.

They point out its perfect size for both handling and transport, this will also have to be adjusted to the specific needs of the object, they point out that the largest ones are more suitable for adults or children with a lot of handling due to their size and greater durability, the different textures It will be a more personal aspect to take into account depending on individual sensory preferences. In general, everyone points out the durability of the product and the sometimes detachment of the pieces with easy restructuring but with danger for the little ones, going so far as to point out that they have used these constructions to create larger ones.
