Modular Toy

Wednesday, 26 August 2026

triX

triX is a modular connectable toy for children aged four and above. The toy is built around a hexagonal three-dimensional grid, so forms can be extended in any direction. Six elements are used: straight and curved extensions, three axis and four axis nodes, links and caps. A small number of parts can encourage creativity and support spatial thinking and motor skills. Ambiguous printed symbols help children express emotions and build characters, because each symbol changes meaning with rotation and placement. Group play can also support social skills.

Tetra

Tetra is an amusing color marker with interactive building toys for kids and the idea of tetra marker is not only encourage children to be creative but encourage them to reuse the marker rather than simply discarding these into the trash after the ink dried up and this will help kids to develop and raise awareness of reuse among them. The shape of a tetra cap makes it easy to press and pull out. Kids can put each cap and pen barrel together to form a shape and explore to build a new abstract shape and it’s up to their imagination bend the rule and come up with new structures.

Stoa

Stoa is a chess set designed to be minimal without distracting from the character of each piece. While many minimal sets abstract forms to the point of obscuring them, Stoa preserves recognizability and focus. Crafted from recycled aluminum with a glass bead blasted finish, each piece is weighted for optimal balance, offering a precise, tactile, and premium experience, equally suited as a display piece in refined architectural settings or for immersive gameplay.
