IC Design - Tibor Kalman Global Alphabet Blocks

SKU: IC-GAB

Design by Tibor Kalman

Kalman’s product designs for the firm often embodied his liberal and humanistic world views. One such product was Global Alphabet Blocks, designed in 1991 by Kalman in collaboration with Scott Stowell. The blocks are recognizable by the different world alphabet scripts printed on various sides of the cubes. In making this gesture Kalman was proclaiming the unity of human identity through the graphic representation of language. He did so in the form of a familiar and educational toy, but in a striking way no one had done before.
