James Paulius designed the Blockitecture® Frank Lloyd Wright – Usonian set for Areaware which is a playful rendition of the iconic architecture work. The structures rest classically low which is meant to match the American landscape which surrounds the respective homes. The toys follow the same theme with inspiration from the renowned and signature style.
The blocks are resting around a hexagonal axis and it features distinct dimensions paired together with colorful details on the side which truly sets the blocks apart. All of the pieces have natural colors and the palette blends with the light shade of 'the New Zealand pine.' The paints are water-based and non-toxic and can be stacked and nestled together as users please.
