Anyone who has ever played with Lego have been hit with the intense desire to build at some point or another. What if those bricks were life-sized? Think of all the possibilities! This is exactly what Arnon Rosan did when he founded EverBlock.
A modular system of full-scale plastic blocks that stack on top of each other and lock together, EverBlock is more a tool than it is a toy and that's what brings building with blocks to a whole new level. Made of polypropylene, EverBlocks come in three sizes: quarter (three inches); half (six inches); and full (12 inches). There are also 14 colors to choose from and each block can vary in weight, going from a quarter pound to two pounds for a full size.
Using EverBlocks is much like building with Lego bricks in that they have to be staggered in such a way that a block is able to cover the seams of two below it. Every block also features at least one channel that can make room for power cables, wooden dowels for reinforcement and LED strips that can either stablize or illuminate a structure.
At first, Rosan developed EverBlock as a means to easily build furniture like coffee tables and couches. However, he soon realized that life-sized blocks have so much potential for a variety of applications. In fact, people have used EverBlocks to build house-like structures, dividers for rooms, home accents and even art. To aid customers in whatever they want to build, EverBlock has an online builder tool for creating designs. This will determine how many and which blocks are needed so customers get exactly what they need.
