💟☮️ Today is *international day of kindness* ☮️💟
This made me reflect on what kindness means as an architecture toy designer.
I think people knowing me will agree that kindness is a very important value in my life, and we can find it in Happy Squares: a modest toy that leaves room for children to create and decide how they want to play, that is kind to the planet, and that is ethically produced.

E' i l turno di HappySquares, ideato da Emilie Queney nel 2014, è un marchio londinese che produce playful construction set sostenibili, realizzati in materiale riciclato. Tre diversi set (grigio, arcobaleno, colori primari) e tre diverse quantità (mini, medium o maxi), tutti composti da pannelli e connettori per costruire un’infinità di configurazioni su larga scala, seguendo la propria immaginazione e fantasia. I set Happy Squares, nella loro semplicità di creatività, consentono ai bambini di età compresa tra tre e nove anni di esplorare l’ambiente che li circonda in tre dimensioni, di essere gli architetti del proprio “mondo”.

🤓During a recent workshop, a parent generously shared about SCHEMAS.

🧠 SCHEMAS are the fascinating patterns of repeated actions that children use to explore their world.

Happy Squares is a good tool to fulfil some of the most common ones: positioning, enclosing, transporting, connecting, transforming or orienteering.

🤍 Now I can make sense of my own children behaviour in that regards! Such a great lens to understand and support our children better!

😊 During my last market (thank you ), a passerby compared my toy to the work of Enzo Mari, with whom she used to work.

🤓 This made me so happy and proud!

🤍 Enzo Mari is one of my favourite creators: keeping things simple and practical, having a political consciousness and caring for manual skills. Here is Ziggurat, a series of versatile building blocks.

With Happy Squares, I sought to create the simplest module, allowing for the most possibilities in creating mini architectures. It feels good to remind myself of my first idea!
