Worlds

The World of Bicycles

The first vehicle. The threshold between being pushed and self-propulsion. A rite of passage on two wheels.

The World of Imagination

The fort, the costume, the made-up game, the invisible friend. The most important world has no physical boundaries.

The World of LEGO

A brick invented in 1949 that remains compatible across seven decades. A system of infinite possibility constrained by plastic geometry.

The World of Outdoor Play

Swings, slides, dirt, sticks, skinned knees, and the expanding radius of independence.

The World of School

The backpack, the lunchbox, the pencil case, the desk. The objects that carry a child through eight hours away from home.

The World of Stuffed Animals

The first friends, the bedtime council, the witnesses to every childhood moment. Stuffed animals are the most emotionally loaded objects in any childhood bedroom.
