Plico: an Interactive Playmat for Children

Cassidy West
•
Design Challenge:
• An interactive object designed for children 4-8 years of age
• Baltic birch plywood as the major material 
• Made up of repetitive elements manufactured using the pin router 
 
Concept:
A clever toy box that folds out to become an illustrative children's play mat with many configurations (that function due to inset magnets). Designed specifically with/for a 5 year old girl named Inara (co-creation).
 
A collaboration with Ali Wilson & Neil Machon
