With another Tokyo Designers Week now behind us, this month we take a look at a few of our favorite items from the event, some of which might just make the perfect Christmas gift.
Great box sets
Produced by Takashi Tsunoda (Twelvetone), Pneuma Box offers paper-craft lovers something that most paper models don't: the power of transformation. A simple but effective idea, Pneuma Box is a set of four U-shaped blocks, which you fold into shape yourself. You don't even need to cut out the pieces or use glue. Each block has a different colored pattern and they slot together to form all manner of designs: an octopus, dog or deer; a man with a hat or even a slightly comical "angry stone statue." The sets were sold at DesignTide Market for ¥1,260 and both the colorful "Animals" and the monotone "Original" are now available online. They should also be popping up in gift stores in time for Christmas.
