Amsterdam-based creative practice Felix Salut launches the ultimate entertainment for those in the designer profession or who have a passion for typography. Taking the format of the popular building block board game -- the 'Galapagos Game,' the studio creates a version with geometric shapes that can be infinitely arranged to form letters or patterns. Its predecessor actively engaged the public to such a degree that the "Stedelijk Museum added it to the permanent collection."
Not only entertaining but also somewhat endearing and creative, the newest version produced by Felix Salut is quite playful and the only limit is considered to be the imagination of those who are interacting with the typography-embracing blocks. In fact, individuals can leave each other messages on countertops like 'Call Me' or 'I Love You' in a design-minded way.
