raduga grëz — stacking tower earth

play is a safe space where the child does not have to be the best or the first. the pyramid is a simple toy that puts the child in such a space. he can play that the pyramid discs are the wheels of a mars rover or drifting ice floes, make a caterpillar or a train out of them. when there are no rules, it is easy to make up your own ones.

the pyramid was inspired by the muted colors of soil, sand, clay, and forest greenery. when you look at them, you may think of the harsh russian nature and landscapes of tundra and taiga.

our pyramids are made of natural linden. the linden tree is slowly dried outdoors so that no cracks appear on it. the toys are coated with safe paints. we do not use lacquer in order to preserve the unique, velvety texture of the wood.
