Eight square wooden blocks, each with one big faceted stone set in the middle. Stacked into a pyramid or lined up on a windowsill, they turn the light into small rainbows of pink, blue, green and gold.

They are big enough for the youngest builders to grab and stack, and they join any block corner as windows, jewels and treasure.

Bauspiel Bauspiel is Uwe Deckelmann and his daughter Hanna. 'Bauspiel' means 'building game' in German, and the line grows out of Friedrich Fröbel's kindergarten tradition of simple forms that ask nothing and allow everything. The wood is native European lime, alder and beech, with maple and cherry from sustainable cultivation, colored and oiled so the grain stays visible and the soul of the wood remains perceptible. The acrylic and gems come from Taiwan or China. Everything is quality-checked and shipped from Augsburg, Germany.
