Should Be A Set › About us
About us
Some things just should be a set. A grandmother roasting chestnuts on a street corner. A Christmas log with a blanket and a smile. A turnip carved into a lantern long before pumpkins took the job.
We are a small group of people who never stopped building. As children we emptied the brick box on the floor and made what the instructions forgot: the house next door, the dragon from a dream, the boat that did not exist yet. We still do. We believe imagination is a muscle, and that the urge to invent things that should exist is one of the best feelings there is.
So every day we pick a tradition, a story or an everyday wonder that never became a set, and we design it in bricks. We work with computer-assisted design tools: they help us shape each model, check that every part is real and attached, and draw clear step-by-step instructions with pictures only, so anyone can build them, in any language. Then each model is reviewed before it is shared.
Our designs are fan-made and independent. You get the instructions and a parts list; the bricks are yours to find, and they can be ones you already own.
Meet the team
Our team photo is, of course, a brick model. Built, like everything here, from standard bricks and plates.
- The Dreamer carries a glowing light bulb and spots, everywhere, the things that should be a set.
- The Builder holds up a brick and turns the dream into shapes that actually stand.
- The Colour Keeper guards the paint palette and makes sure every colour is a real one.
- The Step Writer never lets go of the instruction book, so you never get lost at step 23.
- The Chief Tester looks at every model through a magnifying glass before it goes out.
