Think outside the “block” with these magnetic, origami-inspired building toy - Yanko Design
On Yanko, we've covered various products and concepts that have, in some way, expanded upon the design of conventional building blocks. Out of all the products I've seen so far, the Clixo magnetic edifice set presents the most dramatic modify to this classic idea, past disregarding the need for block-shaped pieces entirely.
Instead of sticking to the tried-and-truthful pattern of geometric shapes, the Clixo pieces are thin and flexible, about like a sheet of origami paper. Some of the pieces mimic the shape of a fidget spinner, with four leg-like structures with circular, magnetic connectors. What are the advantages of this design? Firstly, it allows a Clixo to practise what a lego tin't: fold inward and attach to its own legs. Secondly, it allows y'all to build anywhere (literally). Conventional building blocks must be stacked on a flat surface, otherwise, they'll topple over. Clixo pieces aren't limited by that constraint. Yous tin can build a new cosmos on your lap, wrap them around your wrist like a bracelet, or even stick them on your fridge like magnets.
In addition to its sleek, flexible design, the Clixo pieces are very satisfying to play with. The magnets click together in a way that'south but as satisfying as snapping two legos together. Y'all don't have to be a budding architect or builder. If you or your kid accept idle easily, the Clixo's volition go on them very decorated. In that respect, Clixo has the potential to become the mod-day lego set. It gives builders a new way to play, encouraging them to imagine new 3D builds that weren't possible with standard blocks.
