From Wood to Stone

Inspired by the wooden blocks of kindergarten founder Friedrich Froebel, the Lilienthal brothers developed a unique formula to manufacture mineral building blocks consisting of a mixture based on quartz sand, chalk and linseed oil. In their search for an authentic construction experience, the aviation pioneers found an alternative to the unstable wooden blocks. Thanks to great precision in manufacturing, the weight of the stones and their structure, even large model buildings can be constructed without requiring the use of any adhesive agents.

The Concept of Playing
