"Click!" – Here, stone meets stone. Bricks are usually joined using mortar. But there is another way. This plug-in system allows a connection that requires no jointing material at all. The principle is similar to that of log cabins or wooden compost bins.

"Click, click, click!" With each additional element, new connection points and combination possibilities arise. The user decides the shape and structure of the resulting formation. It can be planned or develop spontaneously. It can remain in place long-term, but it can also be disassembled, altered, enlarged, or reduced at any time. Depending on how the individual elements are offset, closed, dense, or airy and light-permeable sections can form.

The use of wooden slats allows for horizontal expansion and the creation of flat surfaces, slats, shelves...

Much of the stability is automatically provided by the plug-in connection and the weight of the bricks. If needed, additional rods can be used to connect the bricks vertically. The simplicity of assembly is comparable to that of colorful plastic building blocks from Denmark, making it child’s play. Or, in other words: a piece of cake!
