The Best Lego Designs

Despite being toys, Legos inspire amazing creations. LEGO artists make use of the tiny plastic bricks for everything from robots to architecture. Even the engineers of the company design new elements that allow builders to create more intricate models. Erik Varszegi is a Master Builder at the Lego Group, Billund, Denmark. He came up with an entirely new feature for this year, the curved slope. It allows Lego users to create more slanted designs while adhering the company’s strict colour palette. The slopes can also be used to create more dynamic shapes, like an angled staircase.

While certain Lego designs are the work of professional designers, others are created by the renowned Lego Ideas set-design program. The Ideas line lets anyone design a set and it is able to be made. It offers fame and 1% of sales for any designer who convinces 10,000 other designers that their design is worthy to be produced. It’s no surprise that more extravagant and impressive sets usually garner the most acclaim especially when they have iconic characters or scenes from TV, movies or from the real world.

Two space icons are among the best Lego models: the NASA shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Telescope model. Each telescope includes a plaque to display and an exact Lego version of its creator. Other impressive models include the framed rainbow, steampunk dragon and a model of the Palace of Westminster.
