The history of the founding of the famous Lego brand dates back to 1932. At first, the company specialized in carpentry. Next, for Lego, a period of bad luck began: first, the workshop’s fire, and then the Great American Depression.
Company founder Ole Kirk Christiansen moved and started creating mini-designs to make it easier to showcase products without focusing on cost. Thanks to this find, potential buyers could add up the impression of the finished product.
This prompted Christiansen to create toys. It was he who owned the idea of creating a designer from plastic, but at that time toys from wood and metal were in great demand.
Since then, Lego has become one of the most popular toys in the world. Designers embodied in their models the most fashionable trends in cinema and animation. The cost of some of them reached incredible numbers, but connoisseurs say it's worth it.
