hidden forces

These playful modular system of wooden rings designed to arouse curiosity, intended primarily for kidults but also a possible therapeutic use.
With their friendly colors and pleasant surface, the rings encourage playful exploration of their hidden forces, which they owe to strong magnets inside. These allow a variety of arrangements and encourage free and open-ended play.
With the products and objects she designs in her studio in Southern Germany, Lu Grompone focusses on arousing curiosity and a spirit of discovery, as she is convinced that curious people are better people.

Lu Grompone is an independent industrial designer from Uruguay based in Germany. After 20 years in various agencies and companies, most recently in the toy industry, Lu now runs her own studio, where she focuses entirely on translating her experience from different fields and countries into the development of colorful and playful objects and kinetic artworks. Many of the products she has designed reveal her artistic signature, while her sculptural works would not be possible without her experience as an industrial designer.
