stepped blocks {objects of desire}

They might be for children but I wouldn’t mind a Stepped Pyramid Block Set for myself. Created in Germany, the collection features 100 hand painted blocks of varying sizes allowing wee ones to create endless unique structures while also learning important skills like spatial conception. I think they would look fantastic in a white design studio and allow for jolly exploration into patterns, typography and so much more…

I’ve used these with adults for creativity warm ups. They are amazing!! The things you can do with simple, colourful materials!

Yep, I’m thinking both adults and children could benefit from some colourful blocks. Using them for creative warm ups is a very smart idea!
