FaceMaker Product Launch @ Home London and Maison & Objet Paris

Thought we'd share this image of some of our new creations made with our new block toy FaceMaker. All these faces were made with one set. We are super excited to be taking trade orders at Home London 15-17th Jan and Maison & Objet Paris 20-24th Jan. We can't wait to see what faces everyone makes. Another cool thing is that ShapeMaker (our first block toy) and FaceMaker can be combined for even more possibilities.

Seasons Greetings

OUR NEW BOOK FACES IS OUT

Welcome to our wonderful world of faces...

We are very proud to announce the launch of our new book for Tate Publishing called "Faces". Its been one of the hardest but most rewarding projects to date. Hence lack of blog posts

Book Description.

Faces are all around us, everywhere we look. On every page of this inspiring and imaginative book the reader will encounter unusual and creative ways of making faces, using printing, collage, geometric shapes and sculpture. Surprising details are revealed by lifting flaps, looking through holes or turning the book upside-down. As well as being entertaining and engaging, "Faces" offers an insight into major modern art movements, including pop art, op art, abstraction, junk art and kinetic sculpture. The book's designers reference key artists, including Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, and Eduardo Paolozzi as well as graphic designers of the 1950s and '60s. 

Available from our web shop link here or at Tate shops.
