This project explores the relationship between play, emotion, and form through the design of a modular toy that encourages creative interaction. The concept originated from observing how toys can act as emotional companions rather than simple objects of entertainment. I wanted to design a piece that brings both joy and calm, while inviting users to construct, deconstruct, and reimagine freely.
The toy consists of multiple interlocking geometric modules, allowing users to build endless configurations—each transformation reflecting the fluidity of imagination. Through this modularity, the design emphasizes exploration, adaptability, and self-expression, encouraging both children and adults to find their own meanings in play.
In terms of form and color, the design adopts soft pastel tones and rounded edges to evoke warmth and familiarity. Every curve and surface is intentionally shaped to enhance the tactile experience—inviting touch, curiosity, and emotional engagement.
The choice of materials—White Birch, Black Pine, and Black Walnut—adds layers of both visual and symbolic depth. White Birch represents purity and lightness, capturing the innocence of childhood; Black Pine introduces strength and resilience, grounding the playful spirit; while Black Walnut brings a sense of warmth, sophistication, and timelessness. Together, they balance contrast and harmony, blending nature’s textures with human emotion.
Ultimately, this project reflects my belief that design can bridge imagination and emotion, transforming a simple object into a space of interaction, reflection, and joy.
