Fort Standard's Balancing Blocks are a perennial favorite in the NYC's ever-growing pop-up design store scene (including the Herman Miller co-sign): the faceted oblong blocks are jewel-like yet abstract a modernist take on nostalgia for play. The polychromatic polyhedra aptly encapsulate the Brooklyn duo's minimalist approach to form and materials.

The painted oak blocks, which are sold in sets of ten, are also available year-'round through Areaware (though they're currently out of stock til October).
