BLOCKED

These toys are a series of poplar blocks that have been split into angled forms. These forms can be twisted, separated, offset into sheered, stacked forms and reassembled into blocks again. Part puzzle, part sculpture, part fidget toy.

Constructed from solid poplar and neodymium magnets, these tactile forms have satisfying swiveling, clicking connections that encourage players not just to solve the puzzles, but to stack, fidget and twist the blocks into sculptural shapes. These generative toys may help their users overcome creative blocks.
