While there are plenty of architectural playsets that encourage building with physical 3D blocks, this set of stamps inspires one to create in a different way.
'Stampville' is the name of a stamp set that contains 25 rubber stamps and two colored ink pads, which can be used to build an entire village on paper. Rather than featuring pre-made house-shaped stamps, the Stampville set includes a variety of shapes and patterns that can be used to make an infinite number of designs. This low-tech set boasts appeal for both kids and adults who want to test their skills as a planner, designer and architect by creating their own imaginative world.
This new set of stamps sold by the Princeton Architectural Press hails from French-born illustrator Aurelien Debat.
