Wooden blocks for type lovers
I've still got boxes to unpack, but I couldn't resist taking a few minutes to play. Wooden toy company Uncle Goose recently offered to send me a complimentary set of their hand-manufactured Big and Tall blocks. Initially I declined since I don't have babies and I don't like pastel colors. They assured me these would be less wooden toy and more "décor couture." And when I heard they were designed in collaboration with type foundry House Industries, I said sign me up.
Look what arrived on my doorstep: Orange. Patterns. Lettering. The craftsmanship and printing on the blocks is flawless. I got strangely addicted to moving these around, stacking and restacking. At least I have one shelf in my yet-to-be-unpacked office that's happy to look at! The blocks are perfect with my Blanca Gomez Typographer print, right?
The 20-block set will be available sometime this month; check the Uncle Goose shop for details.

Very cool! Blocks for adults! ;) We all need to have a little fun in our lives!
those are awesome!
LOVE!
WOW! Those blocks are awesome. We have the Uncle Goose alphabet blocks for our little girl, and they are beautiful in their own right, but these are fabulously grown-up.
glad you're settling in!

Lovely!
Those are so lovely that I don't even have a little one and I would order them as Knicks knacks. Big hearts to design conscious kids toys.
