Ole Kirk Kristiansen founded the toy company LEGO in 1933. The name came from an abbreviation of ’leg godt’ meaning ’play well’ in Danish, but it wasn’t until 1958, when the brand created the iconic brick, that everything changed.
Since then, the colourful building pieces have opened up a world of possibilities. Whether you spend hours meticulously working through a mammoth set with thousands of pieces, or use as a quick stress-busting build with the old blocks you retrieved from the depths of the attic, LEGO unapologetically brings out our inner child and is the perfect gift for all ages.
