When you are looking to explore art, geometry and imagination, think of Trido Laguna. Designed in 2017 by Artur Tikhonenko, it primarily functions as a set of magnetic building blocks. The idea is to arouse the playful instinct of adults and children, helping them to learn, create and relax.
With Trido Laguna, users can explore their artistic styles in geometric three-dimensional structures. Available in Small, Medium and Large, the Laguna range offers families and children the flexibility to explore magnetic construction at every scale. Whether you are an artist, educator, design enthusiast or just a child who wants to have fun building blocks, Trido provides the perfect tool to learn, imagine and build.
Design
Trido is a set of magnetic blocks, inspired by the geometry of platonic solids. In other words, the blocks have shapes of tetrahedron, octahedron, half-sliced tetrahedron and a half-sliced sphere called the “eye”. Each has a patented magnetic system, connecting between shapes without repealing. These strong internal magnets allow pieces to snap together instantly, giving users complete freedom to build, rebuild and experiment without any restrictions.
The blocks have a harmoniously balanced palette in nuances and contrasts, while the expressive magnetic eyes give the structure some character. The colors are also designed to make the structure look modern, making it stand out.
Designed for children aged 3+, TRIDO Laguna supports the development of fine motor skills, spatial awareness, early STEM concepts and collaborative play. The blocks are made of non-toxic ABS plastic, with smooth, rounded edges for safe, long-lasting use. The magnets are safely hidden inside in a special inner “nest”.
All patents are protected by Trido Ltd in the USA, Europe, China, Japan, Korea and Australia.
Function
Unlike traditional construction toys that focus on fixed outcomes, TRIDO Laguna is intentionally aimed at free play and design. There are no rules and no finished model to copy. Users are encouraged to explore balance, symmetry, form and imagination, turning downtime or playtime into a creative process rather than a task.
This means that playing with TRIDO Laguna is pretty simple and fun. The magnetic properties enable smooth connection from any side without repealing. Hence, the pieces can be assembled in thousands of amazing decors, including a sculpture, vase, or anything that comes to mind. The idea is to delve deep into your imagination and create whatever you have imagined. This is what makes the Trido Magnetic Art a perfect inspirational tool.
Therefore, these are what makes the Laguna range truly stand out:
- Open-ended creative play that supports imagination, problem-solving and confidence
- Magnetic eyes included, allowing builds to become characters and expressive figures
- Art-led design, encouraging sculptural builds as well as playful creations
- Screen-free engagement suitable for independent or shared family play
