Child's Play

Grycia's Erde simple chair is multi-functional on different angles. They remind me of Jenga blocks - the game that teases gravity. To defy or double their original purpose, I used to build structures with them. They were nothing on their own but majestic when put together.



Frayn Yong's use of Graphite Lead creates architectural shapes that are close to my heart. I've always tried to reach the top of a spiderweb.



Enzo Mari's Sedici Animali and Sedici Pesci wooden puzzle challenges the child with uneasy forms, providing limitations that stretches the imaginations of children. He was interviewed in Apartamento #4, where he mentioned, "I wanted my toys to be freeing, not limiting, without putting dampers on the possibilities of play."
