Imaginé par John Caserta et Jeremy Mickel du studio The Design Office à la manière d'un jeu de construction, le concept "Letterboxes" ne vise pas à reproduire l'alphabet en 26 lettres distinctes mais propose un système de cubes en carton à monter et combiner pour obtenir chacun des caractères. Une idée qui n'est pas sans nous rappeler le concept "Shapemaker block game" créé par Miller Goodman. Enjoy !

Description originale des designers

Children of a young age play with small wooden blocks to learn the alphabet. Letters lead to words that lead into sentences and so on. Our oversized kraft boxes reintroduce the alphabet not as 26 distinct letters, but as the result of combining geometric parts.  The 4-inch cubes may be viewed and stacked from any direction, creating unexpected shapes and letterforms. The boxes are made from recycled cardboard, delivered flat (assembling is part of the fun). This is a prototype. It is available for exhibit, licensing, etc. via
