This is more Lego than our inner child can even deal with (Picture: NPIRE)

Sometimes you can be casually going about your day and you’re just hit with a genius idea. And you can’t believe no one’s ever thought of it before.

We imagine this is pretty much how the Lego Wall project came about.

Gilg, an employee at the German creative studio NPIRE, found an innovative solution to the company’s ‘crap from the kitchen encroaching on the hallway’ problem – he built a dividing wall with 55,000 Lego bricks.

He explains: ‘I had the only right and most obvious thought: “We need a Lego wall to be able to hide all the empty containers and the garbage behind them.”‘ Erm, not the most obvious thought Gilg, no.

The project took him a year, with a little help from his colleagues.



Staff brought in their old Lego from home and they also purchased 80 packs of new bricks.

It cost 2,500 Euros (£2000), weighs around 80 kilos, is almost three metres wide and is 2.8 metres tall at its highest point.

So, next time you need a dividing wall in your house – and have a lot of time on your hands – why not try building it out of Lego?

Just don’t let the kids at your building supplies.
