There are many puzzles that are meaningless and are just played with to pass time. These Human Blocks, created by a designer group called “Drill Design” have puzzle pieces meant to be used to bring people together.
The Human Blocks include people of different races, skin colours and heights, and are supposed to be used to connect people from around the world.
Implications - Designers continually use their creations to spark discussion and inspire change. These puzzle pieces were made from different types of wood to reinforce the power of diversity and working together. Companies can take advantage of this opportunity by infusing their products with hidden social statements reinforced by the product's functionality.
