Meet Moishe, Nafisa, Mary, Chen, and Jose, a rainbow coalition of bockheads celebrating New York's diversity. So cool, they even have their own MySpace pages! Babel Blocks are the creation of Constantin Boym and Laurene Leon, industrial designers known for pushing the boundaries between art and design. Next month the 6" figures will make their museum debut in the MoMA exhibit, Design and
the Elastic Mind. Note: the packaging says Not Intended for Children, but I think that has more to do with the price tag than the product. $75 at boym. Even if you're not buying, check out their videos on youtube.
