Despite being toys, Legos inspire amazing creations. LEGO artists make use of the small plastic bricks to produce everything from robots to architecture. The company’s engineers also design new components that allow builders to construct more complicated models. Erik Varszegi, a Master Builder with the Lego Group in Billund, Denmark created a new feature this year which is the curved slope. It allows Lego users create more slanted forms while adhering to the company’s strict color palette. The slopes can be used to create more dynamic shapes, such as a curving staircase.
Certain Lego sets are the result of the work of professional designers while others are the product of the well-known Lego Ideas program. The Ideas line allows anyone to create a set, and then get it manufactured, and offers fame and a percentage of sales to designers who is able to convince 10,000 fellow designers that their design is worthy of being go into production. It’s not surprising that the most elaborate and impressive sets often receive the most attention, especially when they have iconic characters or scenes from films or television shows, or in real life.
One of the most impressive Lego designs are two iconic space-themed models including the NASA space shuttle Discovery and a model of the Hubble Telescope. Each model comes with plaques for display and a miniature Lego replica of the scientist that designed the telescope. Other impressive models are the framed rainbow, steampunk dragon as well as a replica of the Palace of Westminster.
