One of the best initiatives that the Danish company has promoted in recent years is the creation of its LEGO Ideas division, a part of the conglomerate dedicated to fostering and developing sets that would not make it to market through traditional channels and that, in this case, are suggested by the users themselves. And the follies that are proposed are so relevant that it has become the place where the funniest surprises of the chip factory appear.
Hang a Van Gogh at home
To this LEGO Ideas we owe wonders like the Sesame Street set, the tree house, the pirate bay and even a reproduction of a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar with its amp and all. The fact is that many of the sets that come with this stamp are so surprising that the last one we can tell you about is a real wonder based on one of the masterpieces of late 19th century painting. Neither more nor less than The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh.
This new set has a feature that makes it special, since it does not need a foot to hold it on a table or similar. The quality of this LEGO is that we can hang it on the wall and finally have a Van Gogh in the living room with the quality of being made with chips. Something that will please those who prefer a less serious and Versailles decoration and prefer something more informal.
As you can see from the images, the painting has its own frame, a very original relief effect in each of its parts and fully respects the colors and lines of the original work, the same one that, according to experts, transmits a creative, emotional and sensitive spirit that “leads us towards firstness, or the force of possibility, timeless, or the passion to bring out what is not yet capable of materializing.” We will try when we have it at home to look at it with those eyes.
