Cinqpoints

Cinqpoints is a French brand with the principles of architecture running through each and every product, to create a range of games, objects and stationery that both adults and children will love. Founded in 2013 by a passionate architect, the name Cinqpoints translates in ‘five points’, a manifesto penned by famous architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret outlining the five principles of design or Les Cinqpoints d’une novelle architecture, Cinqpoints aims to highlight architecture and its richness and diversity which is present everywhere.

It is plain to see that Cinqpoint’s products are on a different scale to other games and stationary, each game is a beautiful feat of design, take its Archicolour Dominos, this is a domino game with a difference. Based on a beach hut design, each piece features two coloured walls and a coloured roof, the aim of the game is to match the coloured walls and through careful observation and analysis match all cards to win! Or how about the card game happy families? Cinqpoint’s Iconic Architecture Card Game features buildings of architectural importance instead of people. There are eight different themes to match, this is a fun game that will also enhance your architectural knowledge.

For architecture lovers young and old you can recreate Le Corbusier’s brutalist architectural landmarks with this unique wood and metal construction toy – Le Corbusier Unité d’Habitation. The pieces can also be rearranged to create something totally different. The set features two large and four medium wooden bases, eight L-shaped metal corners and 14 magnets featuring visuals. Perfect for those moments at the office when you need a creative break or for kids who love to build and are up for the challenge. We also stock this building toy as Ray & Charles Eames House, another architectural icon of modern style.

For note takers and sketch makers we have two notebook options from Cinqpoint, the first is an essential tool for architects, engineers and creators called Duo De Cahiers à Dessin Etudes N°1 et N°2. The A4 pad is filled with removable tracing paper sheets that can be easily filed, a hard back and a series of detachable drawing tools to allow you to sketch and create on the move. For note takers and sketchers the Less+More Sketch Book Duo has been designed with creatives in mind, each features graph paper on the right hand side and plain paper on the left so you can take precise notes on one side and sketch your visions on the other.

There is definitely something for everyone in the Cinqpoint products that we have chosen for the Stylistic Design Shop. We love the way in which this brand has mixed architecture with play. The games are a brilliant way to get children, as young as six, seeing the beauty of architecture and learning more about the iconic designers behind the buildings, plus the sketch books will definitely have wide appeal to our customers, we hope you love the products as much as we do
