Nomad System

I dropped into the Gift Show on Tuesday. I had 2 hours, which meant I only got to see a fraction of the show. But it's a great show and I still found one bazillion treasures. One of my favorites was the Nomad building system by Mio. The pieces are made from recycled double-walled cardboard and are made to create free-standing walls or screens in minutes. No tools required.

I found these so inspiring. You could use them to divide a bedroom when your kids are craving their own space. Or your kids could use them to create a hideout. I can imagine an event planner using these to screen an unsightly wall, or direct movement, in a rented party space.

Maybe you could use them in a garage, to create a 4th wall of an office nook :).



They're like great big, sophisticated Legos in really good colors. At just over $2 per piece (they're sold in packs of 24 for $56) they don't seem too out of reach for lots of different applications.

Not specifically designed for children, but my kids would adore them.
