Brief

The goal of this project was to develop a product concept for the “Playing Design ” competition.

Project Dscription

Starting from the idea of a modular wooden toy, we have been working on several concepts. By the way, we decided to focus on the idea of enhancing the children creativity, by the creation of their personal fairytailes.

Fiaba allows children to listen traditional fairy tales or combine them together in order to create and record their own ones.
The product is controlled through the form of various cubes and a wood base integrated with RFID. Each cube has a behavior that can represent characters, actions or magic tricks. Once you place the cube into the base you will listen to a specific and representative sound. Depending on the sequence children can create and listen to the story they have created
