Today it's one of the most sought-after Eames collectibles. This reissue ensures that everyone can now create an endless variety of colorful free-standing or hanging structures in which to play or simply display. It's as simple as connecting vibrant triangle and square vinyl panels with honest wooden dowels and craft pipes. For ages 6+.
