Our Philosophy

Joy, happiness, and responsibility Our passion is it to encourage healthy development through shared learning and play between children and parents.

In our opinion, a good toy should bring joy and happiness and above all be fun to play with!

KORXX toys make this possible.

KORXX

And why it exists?

We strive to make the world of every child a bit happier.

It is our belief that the aesthetics of the environment in which a child plays is of utmost importance.

In a quiet environment that is pleasing to the eye, a child can develop and pursue his dreams and ideas. Toys manufactured with toxic materials don’t seem the appropriate choice to achieve such an atmosphere.

In a world where children are exposed to ever more sensory inputs, we offer minimalistic, aesthetic, and elegant play elements that create the ideal environment for play. At KORXX we put focus on all of your child’s senses combining shape, color and smell, to create a desirable natural experience.

KORXX play blocks are bright and brainy, silent and soft, stable and safe, light and lovely.

KORXX Safety

Material: KORXX is made out of granulated natural cork. Cork is a natural product that is free of any detectable toxins.

KORXX products are very durable, with a long lifespan and are recyclable. Cork is harvested as a renewable material in a sustainable forest economy.

KORXX have been tested in accordance to the following toy safety regulation:

• ASTM (US toy safety regulations) • CE EN71 (European safety standard) • AS/NZS ISO 8124.3 (Australian/NewZealand toy safety standard) Compliance with these safety standards prove the physical stability of the product and ensure they are free of toxins and heavy metals and are phthalate and aroma free.

KORXX pigments are especially developed for KORXX, to ensure the highest safety standards in the industry. In addition our pigments are anti-allergenic (hypoallergenic).

KORXX Building Block Concepts

KORXX

Edged creativity – Precise geometric dimensions and proportional ratios, promote free building and the realization of great ideas.

Even the most unusual “seemingly impossible“ structures will succeed.

With KORXX even strangest of towers can push the limits of physics.

Kuller - round building blocks – An oval overture of aesthetic play blocks.

We’ve evolved KORXX blocks to push the limits of free building.

Structures pushing the limits of what is physically possible help children explore and exercise their imagination.

KORXX has further developed its minimalist modular concept and created the Brickle building block set for mobile use.

Brickle is the Mini of the KORXX blocks. It fits into handbags and can be stowed away in a small bag. Young and old can play and compete in their skill.

Special constructions can be constructed with Limbo cork spheres. The spheres fit exactly into the indentations of the construction discs and can be stacked as high or even horizontally in an archway.

Ideal as an addition to the regular KORXX building blocks.

KORXX

“The Bal-lu cork spheres” have indentations so that they can be easily stacked on top of each other without rolling or falling away, allowing new and innovative creations.

It can be an ideal natural stacking tower for babies, as well as a complement to other KORXX cork building blocks.

“Mom, my toy car drop in the pool. Can you please lift it.”

“Hey dad, look, my race car can surf on the waves – uppss – daaaad, bring my car back, I lost it in the sea.”

If you can imagine such situation, than you understand KORXX Beach. With our Beach toys you can play at the beach, in the sea or in the pool. They swim and won´t sink. They can sail or surf on the water and bring a lot of fun discovering the characteristic of the element water and cork.

KORXX Big Block

The giant cork building blocks of KORXX are significantly larger than the normal blocks. They are ideal for use in the garden, on grass, on the patio or in the nursery. Particularly suitable for for kindergartens and schools. They promise high construction creation and allow big playing fun.

Giant cork building blocks enable old and young children, creating impressive buildings in a relatively short time. Giant building blocks are not about many details but about much volume. For example a tower, which is higher than the child itself is associated with a lot of fun to collapse.

This is pure fun and with giant building blocks out of cork it isn’t dangerous.
