Although they are toys, Legos inspire amazing creations. LEGO artists make use of the tiny plastic bricks to produce everything from architecture to robots. The company’s engineers also design new elements that allow builders to construct more complicated models. Erik Varszegi, a Master Builder who works for the Lego Group in Billund, Denmark created a innovative element this year: the curved slope. It allows Lego users to create more slanted forms, while respecting the strict color palette of the company. The slopes can also be used to create a more dynamic shape, like an angled staircase.
Some Lego sets are the result of professional designers’ work while others are the result of the popular Lego Ideas program. The Ideas line lets anyone create a set, and then get it built, granting fame and a percentage of sales to designers who can convince 10,000 peers that their creation is worthy enough to be made into a production. It’s not surprising that the most elaborate and impressive sets typically garner the most attention — especially when they feature iconic scenes or characters from television shows, films, or real life.
Some of the best Lego designs are two space-themed icons which include the NASA spaceship Discovery and an image of the Hubble Telescope. Each model comes with display plaques and a small Lego replica of the scientist that designed the telescope. Other impressive models include an framed rainbow, a steampunk dragon and a model of the Palace of Westminster.
