Cryptoids are wooden toy robots-meet-mythical creatures inspired by Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles. In the world of Cubebot, Cryptoids are known to be monstrously friendly and instill a wonderment of the unknown.

Made from wood and elastic, Cryptoids can be positioned to hold dozens of poses. When they need to elude a sighting, they fold back into a perfect cube. A legendary toy for all ages that will endure generations of play.

Recommended for ages 4 and up.

About the designer:
David Weeks was born in Madison, Wisconsin, raised in Athens, Georgia, and educated in Providence, where he received his BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. Weeks founded his namesake studio in DUMBO in 1996 as an umbrella for his diverse interests, ranging from metal fabrication techniques to contemporary toy culture. Brooklyn’s unique amalgam of the industrial and the artisanal informed Weeks’ sensibility, and his work in turn helped define the independent design movement that took root there: one that championed the maker and whetted contemporary styling and old-school craftsmanship.

Over the past two decades, his product line has evolved from a core grouping of elemental lighting fixtures to a broader collection of upholstered seating, side tables, and sculptural objects with a simpatico sense of materiality and detailing.
