OPP & LEK is a series of activity boards that are both educational toys and decorative interior elements.The boards are available in seven varieties which each have different functions.The product is intended for use both in private homes and in public environments such as kindergartens. Opp & lek and shall appeal to adults and children alike.

The jury’s verdict:
The OPP & LEK board system is a simple concept that inspires children to play or to change and organise their own environment.The wide range of modules provides many opportunities for variation.The boards are easy to attach to a wall with the aid of two screws - after which each element can easily be connected or disconnected.It is therefore easy for children to exchange modules themselves.OPP & LEK will make a tidy impression in a children’s room or at a kindergarten, but it can also be used as an aesthetic and functional interior element in, for example, a kitchen.The boards require very little space and can even be used in small rooms.The rounded corners give a soft impression.The style is otherwise simple, clean and playful.The product’s finish and detail are well thought through.
