Beautiful LEGO

How do your building styles differ? How are they

alike? Do you each specialize in a particular facet

of building?

Our styles are similar, but we have specialized in

different disciplines. Our visions are absolutely

complementary. We need one another. The Doll

is the best example. This model is composed of

many small models within a bigger one. On one

hand, we have a human sculpture in a certain posi-

tion; on the other hand, we have a lot of details

full of colors and forms—two very different ways

of approaching the model but entirely necessary

to one another.

Your works have great diversity, from the techni-

cal aspects of Minimoog to more sculptural look

of Iron Man. You even do some microscale build-

ing. Is there a type of subject matter or building

style that comes easiest to you?

For us, there isn’t a big difference among build-

ing styles or themes. We only see challenges. Of

course, it’s easier to make something small, but

our build decisions aren’t impacted by the ques-

tion of time. When we are looking for the best

result, the difficulty is to find something new,

the scale that fits the subject. The difference be-

tween a small model and a big one is the quantity

of time that we need to find these combinations.

We love any model that allows us to com-

bine technical and cosmetic aspects into the

samecon struction. The Minimoog is the perfect

example. We needed to combine all the techni-

cal mechanisms (knobs, faders, joystick, wheels,

and keys) in combination with the typical Moog

aesthetic using our own building style.

Is there any LEGO piece that you like in particular

andwhy?

All curved parts, wedges, or any part that allows

for reproducing smooth lines or forms attracts us.

These bricks allow for a whole new way to build.
