culture mix...

...now in collectable form

Boym Partners' new design project is set to celebrate the different people of New York. Moishe, Nafisa, Mary, Chen and Jose are ready to come into your house for the price of $75 (the set). These cute figures made out of painted wood call themselves the "Babel Blocks" and truly give away a deep message, especially in these rather questionable days.

And if you thought they're kind of non-technological - because of the wood stuff - well, think again! Each and one of them has a personal MySpace page...and they've also made it to YouTube. You can see more of their life in the Big Apple here.
