Acona Biconbi sculpture kit by Bruno Munari

This multiple sculpture was originally conceived by Bruno Munari during his geometric research, and was published as a 'game' for the first time by Danese in 1961. The game/sculpture kit, which literally means, 'add A-to-A, and B-to-B' consists of 10 card circles, which when folded and fastened together form beautiful geometric sculptures. Pin together (you will need some paperclips) until you find your favourite sculptural form and then stick together.
