Roman Snap Together Helmet

A New and Intuitive Construction System

Stephen McCabe, the creative mind behind the poplojik brand, has developed a series of five classically inspired snap together helmets. The Roman Snap Together Helmet is the first in this collection, offering a fun and educational building process that transforms flat patterns into a fully functional 3D helmet.

What sets the Roman Snap Together Helmet apart is its simplicity and precision. The kit includes 12 flexible puzzle pieces made from digitally die-cut polypropylene patterns, along with laser-cut polypropylene polysnap connectors and injection-molded snap-fasteners. These components easily snap together, allowing the helmet to emerge quickly and accurately.

The building experience is not only entertaining but also educational. As builders transform the 2D patterns into a 3D structure, they develop an understanding of geometry and structure. The components are engineered with precision, ensuring a successful outcome even for unskilled builders. This sense of achievement stimulates the imagination and encourages inventive play.

The Roman Snap Together Helmet is part of McCabe's ongoing poplojik project, which began in the UK in 1994 and continues today in California. This innovative building system has been recognized with a US Utility Patent and has pending PCT/EPO patents. The project has been exhibited at prestigious design events, including Tent London Design Week and the Loop Shows in Los Angeles.

The Roman Snap Together Helmet has received accolades for its ingenuity and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Toys, Games, and Hobby Products category in 2014. This recognition highlights the helmet's ability to combine art, science, design, and technology, contributing to the improvement of quality of life.

Experience the joy of building and the spirit of the past with the Roman Snap Together Helmet. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a design lover, or simply looking for a unique and engaging activity, this helmet offers an immersive and educational experience for all ages.
