XXL-building blocks

Transofrming open-ended play into developement

Winner in category Kids

Bygge XXL-building blocks are a modular, open-ended play system for children aged 3+. They promote motor skills and creativity through durable, non-locking blocks that can be used indoors or outdoors. The product is sustainable because it is made in Germany from 100% recyclable, non-toxic EPP (with one color made from 15% maritime waste), designed for longevity, and supports a circular use model.

With their Bygge “XXL building blocks”, Florian Schade and Stephan Limke have created a compelling combination of sustainable product design and child-centered development. The modular play system allows children aged three and up to build freely and creatively, while supporting their motor skills, problem-solving, and self-efficacy. Manufactured in Germany from 100% recyclable, non-toxic EPP, the durable blocks also support a circular economy concept.
