Playplax Squares.

Thirty six transparent interlocking squares in original (small) box.

Playplax was designed by Patrick Rylands for Trendon Toys in 1967. Rylands was a part-time designer and teacher at the Hornsey College of Art who was originally working on prefabricated parts for the construction industry. He had the idea of miniaturizing these parts to make a toy. The original version of Playplax included plastic squares only. Slightly later, 1968, sets with cylindrical parts were also produced.

Playplax won a Design Centre award in 1967.

This is possibly the first type of box.
