Balancing Blocks By Fort Standard


Continuing the theme of toys for grown-ups (and kids too), which Yasumi started earlier in the week, I've discovered yet more, this time in the way of colourful building block. Or should I say Balancing Blocks? This playful bag of tricks has been created by Industrial Design duo, Fort Standard, who are well known for their innovative attitude towards problem solving + product design.

The Balancing Blocks have been designed to test your understanding of physics as much as they have to entertain and test you nerve, a la Jenga. Areaware has done it again and created this really sweet video, showing you how the blocks work. Don't even try to hid a smile when watching this! Check it out below.
