Tired of building plastic fortresses that crumble at the slightest sneeze? Souper Connect is here to revolutionize playtime (and maybe even office desk toys) with a playful rebellion against the tyranny of the traditional building block. These aren’t your average plastic figures. Souper Connect boasts modular human-shaped blocks that can’t stand alone, a playful nudge towards the importance of connection and collaboration. The ingenious octagonal design of the arms and legs lets you build wacky human pyramids, sprawling human clouds, or even a precariously balanced human skyscraper. The endless possibilities ignite creativity and imaginative play for anyone from curious toddlers to mischievous grandparents (ages 3 to 101, basically).
Souper Connect isn’t just about fun, it’s a design revelation. Recognized by the 2023 Design Intelligence Awards and championed by Kickstarter as a “Project We Love,” these are thoughtfully crafted objects that transcend mere toys. Fidget with them, build with them, share them with friends – the minimal and identifiable form inspires collaboration, while the satisfying click of connections keeps you tinkering for hours.
For the discerning builder with a hankering for something truly unique, Souper Connect offers a limited-edition set crafted from precision-milled aluminium. This special edition elevates the play experience to a new level, offering a beautiful and tactile object that’s a joy to hold and a conversation starter on any shelf.
Souper Connect is the brainchild of designer Peter Minsoub Sim, a New York City-based creative who believes in the power of real-world objects to spark the imagination. Sim developed Souper Connect, pouring his passion into creating a truly versatile building block system. Innovative building blocks were produced by Souper Studio, a Brooklyn-based collective dedicated to bridging the gap between design and tangible objects. Led by a diverse group of international designers, Souper Studio empowers unheard voices to bring their unique ideas to life.
Souper Connect launches on Kickstarter today, March 28th! Don’t miss out on the chance to be a part of this playful revolution and snag exclusive deals and special offers. Head over to their Kickstarter page and get ready to build something truly extraordinary. Who knows, maybe you’ll even inspire a new architectural movement – human skyscrapers anyone?
