This wooden blocks set pays homage to Tokyo's iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower which was designed by renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa in 1972.

The tower stood as a testament to innovative architecture until its disassembly in 2022.

The Nakagin Capsule Tower was intended as a temporary form of architecture, adaptable and in constant evolution, simulating a living organism.

Based on that same principle this wooden blocks set is an invitation to create and imagine different possibilities for a capsule tower building using the wooden blocks as modules.

A tribute to Tokyo’s most radical building. Playful, iconic, and now preserved a a playful stacking blocks game.
