Piks Construction Toy

Platinum A' Design Award Winner 2021

Beginning with a broad view of the assembled structure, this construction toy presents a vertical sculpture composed of approximately eight to ten curved wooden platforms stacked in an ascending spiral formation, the overall height roughly equivalent to the width at the base creating a dynamic upward-reaching composition that occupies three-dimensional space with presence and visual interest, scanning from the lowest level upward, each platform exhibits an organic curved shape resembling elongated kidneys or amoeboid forms with no straight edges, carved or molded from pale natural wood with a smooth matte surface that would feel satiny and warm to the touch like finished hardwood furniture, the wood grain visible as subtle parallel lines running lengthwise suggesting the natural growth patterns of beech or similar fine-grained hardwood, the color of the platforms ranging from pale cream like unbleached linen to soft peachy-tan like light honey, warm in temperature and neutral in tone, resting upon these platforms in various arrangements sit brightly colored conical forms, each cone perfectly symmetrical with a circular base tapering to a sharp point at the apex, the cones appearing smooth and solid like painted wood or dense plastic with a slight matte sheen, the colors intensely saturated and distributed across three primary hues, the yellow cones glowing like fresh lemons or sunlit buttercups, warm and luminous, the red cones vibrant as ripe strawberries or stop-sign crimson, energetic and commanding attention, the blue cones rich as tropical ocean water or clear summer sky, cool and refreshing, moving through the structure from bottom to top, the lowest platform visible at the composition's base supports two yellow cones positioned toward the front, the next level slightly rotated hosts a prominent red cone near center with additional forms visible, successive platforms continue upward each oriented at slightly different angles creating the spiral effect, some platforms bearing single cones while others support multiple forms in chromatic groupings, near the upper reaches of the structure yellow and blue cones alternate creating cool-warm color rhythms, the very top levels include additional red forms, the entire construction suggesting careful balancing as platforms rest upon the narrow conical supports creating an architecture of precarious equilibrium, soft shadows fall beneath each platform and cone in cool gray tones indicating gentle diffused lighting from above and slightly to one side, the background pure white creating the sense of floating in neutral space without environmental distraction, the overall impression combines playful exuberance with geometric precision, the warm natural wood contrasting beautifully with the cool white surroundings and the vibrant synthetic colors of the cones, the structure inviting tactile exploration with its promise of smooth wood grain under fingertips and the satisfying geometric solidity of conical forms, the assembly suggesting both architectural ambition in its vertical reach and playful experimentation in its asymmetrical organic platform shapes, the whole composition communicating joy in color, satisfaction in balance, and the creative possibilities of elemental forms combined through spatial intelligence and aesthetic sensibility.

This creative construction with its fresh and colorful cones as its natural eco-friendly wooden boards helps children to develop concentration skills and to develop logical thinking. The aim of the game is to build a truly inventive structure using all the pieces without any falling down. The wooden boards and silicone cones in different sizes allow kids for a myriad of construction possibilities and enhance them to imagine their own world.
