Abies

… a collection of Abies in every family home …

In their most common version Abies come with pegs, and they have pegholes in their sides. If you insert a peg into a peghole you can connect Abies together.

This creature was made using pegs.

Below is a basic set of Abies. The plan is to start selling these in October-November 2025. A set like this will cost 1,590 PHP (about 24 EUR). We still need to add VAT, and possibly Tariffs. We worked out this is what we need to keep the business alive and grow it. For some families this may be quite a bit of money, and therefore our goals are 1) to make Abies cheaper while keeping the quality as good as it is now, and 2) making Abies better without making them more expensive.

A basic set contains four Abi-C’s and sixteen Abi-D’s, as well as sixteen pegs.

Note the small plier in the background. It is used to remove pegs when they, and the Abies they connect, are needed for another construction. You will rarely make a construction with Abies to put it on the shelf and leave it there for a long time. Maybe tomorrow you make a new construction and need the bricks you used for the construction you made yesterday: so you need a peg remover. This works very well for now, but we are working on a better way to remove pegs. For now, children who are still too young to use a plier will need the help from an adult to remove the pegs. Many families will have such a plier at home and it is therefore not included in the set.

An Abi brick is likely to be used many times, in many different constructions. Abies inspire creativity. You do not make constructions following a manual. Often you end up making something beautiful that has never been made before. Take a picture of it, so that you remember how to make it before you take it apart again.
