New Kids & The Blocks

Building blocks Extension-Kit for the next Generation

Play your way into a beautiful future!

In a time of cultural diversity we are literally trying to build in new aproaches and points of view. "New Kids & The Blocks" is a metaphor for this conceptual "reconstruction".
As they say children are our future, so what better place to literally incorporate new forms than children's toys?! Combine your old building blocks with the 'New Kids & The Blocks Extension-Kit' to create an interesting and daring blend of shapes and see what 'one world' could look like!

Children and creative, open-minded adults.

The blocks are inspired by Arabic architectural forms.

It's accessible, colourfull, child/family-oriented and easy to produce.

Materials: Wood/paint
Techniques: Cutting/sanding/painting

I would need to have a woodshop at my disposal.

I wanted to design something that was directed at children, since they are, as cliche as this might sound, really the future. Apart from that I wanted to design something simple, yet symbolic or meaningful.
