“I wanted to create something totally different from anything that the

Group has ever done before, and showcase that you really can make anything out of ,” said fan designer and MASTERS winner Steve Guinness. “I bought a vintage typewriter for my research and then played around with bricks and the mechanism until I was happy with the design.

“I hope it will bring nostalgia to adult fans like me, and wonder and curiosity to younger fans who might not have ever seen a real typewriter!”

“It’s not hard to see why the vintage typewriter has such enduring appeal, and Steve’s incredible replica is a thoroughly worthy

success story,” commented Federico Begher, VP of Global Marketing at Group. “For many, the escape from the connected world to the simplicity of the typewriter is a similar experience to the mindful process of building with bricks.

“Here, we have a

set that combines these two worlds seamlessly and like its real-life counterparts, is something fans will be proud to display in their homes.”
