Brand Story: Arckit

If there’s one thing children have little lack of (aside from energy), it’s imagination! Properly channelled, it is an amazing thing to behold – fantastic dreams brought to life with just a few toys. With Arckit, kids are able to embrace these dreams through the persuasion of open-ended play!

Not just building blocks

Hailing from Ireland, Arckit produces model building kits that encourage anyone above the age of four years to realise their architectural ideas. It’s not just about building arbitrary structures; Arckit sets can be assembled in various ways and are also compatible with one another. Arckit construction sets take after real modern building techniques, and encourages builders to explore alternative approaches. 

For example, while an illustration of a fully-assembled GO Eco Model House kit can be found on its packaging, there are actually more than three alternative designs to explore. That’s the benefit of open-ended play – it encourages out-of-the-box thinking instead of just following a set of printed instructions.

Fuss-free play

Arckit sets are built around a series of ‘click and connect’ modular components that offer myriad possibilities in assembly. Compared to conventional ‘cut and glue’ kits, Arckit delivers greater reusability and cost-effectiveness. There is also absolutely zero cut or glue mess to worry about! A more tactile experience is afforded by the hands-on approach to building, and further acts as a welcome break from the multitudes of digital entertainment that are so readily available these days.

Force for good

Being the first company to receive the official STEAM Accreditation Stamp of Approval, Arckit has gained recognition amongst schools as a highly educational system for teaching a wide variety of subjects, particularly STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). While Arckit aims to empower future generations through architecture, it also firmly believes in leaving a better world for them. As such, all of Arckit’s product packaging are proudly 100% plastic-free.
