Matteo Ragni from Italy created TobeUs because he couldn’t stand that his kids would play with a new toy for a few hours and then move on to the next toy. So he came up with TobeUs:
“Toy cars made of cedar wood, strong and sweet-scented, beautiful and clever because they were built by skillful and passionate designers.”
Not only did he give the designers a block of wood connected to 2 dowels he also gave them exact directions.
“TobeUs is made by two cuts in a wooden stump that always have the same size.”
He sent this idea to 100 different designers to see what they could come up with.
Matteo’s “100% TobeUs: 100 designers for 100 new toy cars” is currently on display at the Museum of Science & Technology in Milan.
Below are some of my favorites:
What are ways we could use an idea like this in the church?
What if we gave away our worship media, or set lists or bulletins or entire services to a few people and gave them exact directions for what we wanted but let them build it?
What would that look like?
Would it be too risky?
It’s amazing to see how different minds think when presented with a problem!
Speak your mind...
