LENGA by YIHAN&QIANQING from japan
designer's own words:
Robin Skynner considered anticipation as one of "the mature ways of dealing with real stress. People reduce the stress of some difficult challenge by anticipating what it will be like and preparing for how you are going to deal with it.This is why anti-stress games have become very popular in recent years.
During the design process,we firstly have analysed what elements that bring people's anticipation. They are mainly : Expectation, Excitement, unpredictable result, Interaction and stimulation from 5 senses.
Secondly we came up with our Lenga out of Jenga ( typical anti-stress game),and fully amazed by this simple idea that involves all the essential factors to the topic : Anticipation.
Every Lenga piece is made of transparent polycarbonate with a gradient from clear to colourful.The system is lighted up by LED panel ,located inside the base.By playing Lenga alone or with friends,people can not only anticipate from the game itself but also from the lighting effect which changes with ever single step.
However, Lenga is not designed as a simple board game ,as the original Jenga. When it’s not played,it’s always a beautiful table lamp which creates amazing light and shadow.
