LINKKI, a kinetic toy

Design mechanical movements as simply as drawing on paper!

LINKKI, a kinetic toy

What if we could design mechanical movements just as simply as drawing on paper? LINKKI was born in response to this question as a tool for designing movements. With LINKKI, you can build movements without too much hassle but with minimum guidance. Connecting two bars with a set of assembly clips makes a basic unit of linkage, from which you can expand as far as to a very complex mechanism.

STEAM toy inspired by modern art

LINKKI is a STEAM toy, but not only for robots and machines. With its simple, modular, and gender-neutral design inspired by the Bauhaus and constructivist art, it makes STEM learning more accessible to all and allows users to play and learn seamlessly across art and technology.

Project rather than a product

LINKKI is not only a product but a multifaceted art and research project. A number of workshops and art exhibitions have been organized in museums, schools and libraries, to name a few, the Exploratorium(US) and Helsinki Design Week (FI) and Asia Culture Center(KOR). The feedback received from there has been incorporated into the design of the current commercial version of LINKKI.
