#Modular Toys Collection
I was browsing the web for modular toys/solutions. I found a lot of images. As you can imagine most weren’t under open licenses. But I share them here anyway – as fair use. If you are a copyright holder of one of the images let me know and I will remove the image immediately (mail to: mifactor(ät)email.de)
I like the idea, that our kitchen products… and also other products are designed using some of these principles. If you work hard enough, maybe it is possible to have beautiful objects that follow a simple principle of modularity! My work with the 3erlin Grid teaches me, it is possible.
But for now enjoy the collection.

Wow! A bunch of interesting stuff came in when @RicardoRug was working with his students on modular products HERE:
Just one example out of many (check the comments) :
ECO - TABLE
Coffee table for rooms or studios where you will find a variety of plants to decorate the space, made by modules that allow the table to be assembled in different ways
María Elvira Ortega, María Alejandra Roldán, Camila Cardozo, Cristhian Lagos, María Juliana Cortes, Oscar Rios, Alejandro Benavides.

#Pre-Use!
###There is a very special case to explore Circular Modularity in the already built world: Pre-Use.
It overlaps with Modularity a lot: Almost every case of Pre-Use is an example of Modularity and often modular systems are an example of Pre-Use. But still – the scope is a bit different: PreUse often invents or discovers Modularity where it wasn’t planned by designers, so it points to surprisingly already existing modular solutions.
Therefore it offers a somehow separate way to explore design and circularity (and modularity). So it has an own topic on this forum. Make sure to check this too!
####Some PreUse Examples:
A flower pot serves as an outside ashtray, a jar as a vase, a deposit bottle as a sugar dispenser
Water pipes serve as a desk stand or sports device
Chess figures made from nuts and bolts
