Paper Blocks

These beautiful, minimal, paper blocks were designed by Mai Miura for Shirara – a collaboration of a graphic design collective called Communication Engineers and a printing company, Yoshida Printing, in Japan. They make a special craft project for children and adults alike. You can enjoy them as they come – in white – or paint and draw on them to create something unique. And when all the blocks are built, you can just stack everything back into the original packaging which doubles as a storage tray. Now available for the first time in Australia this designer set includes 23 blocks of various shapes and sizes and a paper storage tray. They come flat and ready to assemble with self-adhesive pieces which are pre-cut and scored, so there’s no need for scissors, tape or glue.

Popville

Watch a city grow before your eyes! Popville is a pop-up book where each page corresponds to a moment of urban development – from an isolated church amongst the trees to a bustling metropolis packed with streets, factories and stations. Just like any city, some landscape references stay the same while others disappear to make way for new developments. The unpredictability of what will be there when you turn the page is part of the fun, just like the spontaneity that exists when living in a fast-paced city. Popville is a hardcover book and consists of 14 pages and measures 14.5cm x 29cm. Also, you’ll be happy to know the Popville’s sold on our site are the original Italian editions.

Flokk Colour Wings - Pink

Check out these very cool paper gliders that are a first to Australia! A little birdy told us that Flokk Colour Wings have been known to glide through the air for sometimes more than one minute! And no surprise, really, as they were designed and developed by airplane engineering pioneer, Dr Yasuaki Ninomiya, the Chairman of Japan’s Association for paper airplanes (we want his job!). With their aerodynamic design, these gliders definitely go further than your average paper plane. When properly tuned and under good flying conditions, Flokk can ride thermals and gain impressive altitudes and distances of up to 270 metres. They come in four bright colours – light blue, sunny yellow, hot pink or vibrant orange. And, you’ve got to love this, no tools, glue or scissors are required – it comes with pre-cut adhesive parts, ready for you to peel away and assemble in less than 10 minutes! Each glider comes with illustrated instructions, balsa-wood body, pre-cut paper parts and a rubber catapult set. Package size is 28.5cm × 11.5cm.
Please note: Only pink is available. All other colours have sold out.
