KAPLA Building Planks & Art Book — 40 Red & Orange Set

Twenty red planks, twenty orange — the boldest palette in the KAPLA Book and Colours range.

The Red and Orange edition is the warmest and most striking of the three KAPLA Book and Colours sets — the combination of red and orange creates structures with a visual intensity that the blue and green versions don't quite match. Forty planks — 20 in red, 20 in orange, both dyed with food-grade colouring — come with an art book of original construction models designed for this palette, from straightforward introductory builds to complex, layered designs that use the tension between the two tones. No glue, no clips, no connectors. Every KAPLA plank is identical, which means this set works alone or adds directly to any existing collection. Landes pine from KAPLA's own sustainably managed forests in south-west France.

KAPLA was invented in 1987 by Tom van der Bruggen, a Dutch antique dealer who fell in love with a ruined farm on the Tarn river in southern France and decided to turn it into a castle. To plan the build, he made a scale model — and finding that wooden blocks were too bulky for the details, he designed his own plank, based on the precise ratio 1:3:15. The result was KAPLA: a single plank that can build anything. The planks are made from sustainably managed Landes pine, grown in KAPLA's own forests in the south-west of France, and coloured with food-grade dyes. The company remains based near Bordeaux.
