“Rainbow” is a simple wooden stacking toy designed by Heiko Hillig. It’s been around for over ten years — it won some German design awards in ’97 and ’98 — but I’d never seen the colored plywood half-hoops that can not only be appealing arrayed but also make different notes when struck with a mallet. Gracefully simple — and expensive at $175.
I can usually tell I’m going to like a product when the image makes me think, “That would look nice meandering down the front page of the site.”
