So, now you can spoil your loved ones with a [wooden model of their favorite city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockitecture-frank-lloyd-wright): Paris, Tokyo, Barcelona, London or New York.

The wooden blocks are shaped to mark the most iconic symbols and architecture of the respective cityscapes.
