The Best Lego Designs

Although they are toys, Legos inspire amazing creations. LEGO artists make use of the tiny plastic bricks for everything from robots to architecture. Engineers from the company also create new elements that allow builders to build more intricate models. Erik Varszegi, a Master Builder working for the Lego Group in Billund, Denmark, designed one such new element this year that is a curve of the slope. It allows Lego users to design more slanted forms while still adhering to the company’s strict colour palette. The slopes can also be used to create more dynamic shapes, like the curving staircase.

While certain Lego designs are the creations of professional designers, others are the result of the popular Lego Ideas set-design program. The Ideas line lets anyone design a set, and it can be produced. It provides fame and 1% of sales for anyone who convinces 10,000 of their peers that their design is worthy to be produced. It’s no surprise that the most elaborate and impressive sets often receive the most support, especially when they are based on iconic characters or scenes from films or television shows in real life.

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 the inventor. Other impressive models are the framed rainbow, steampunk dragon as well as a replica of the Palace of Westminster.
