LEGO Home Wooden Collection: Wood is more expensive than plastic

A few days ago, the Danish design studio Room Copenhagen presented his new collection of licensed wooden LEGO products with coat hooks, storage boxes, shelves or even photo frames.

The manufacturer then specified for all intents and purposes that these products are made from FSC-labeled oak wood, a certification that guarantees that the raw material comes from forests with sustainable management and respect for the environment, and that each model is assembled. handmade and available in two versions: a raw variant and the other varnished.

We finally get a more precise idea of ​​the prices that will be charged for these different accessories via the Swedish brand Nordic Nest which references the entire range. I expected high prices, but you will have to pay a high price for these different wooden products: 95.99 € for a raw photo frame, 106.50 € for the varnished version, 106.50 € and 133.50 € for the set of three raw hooks or varnished, 143.99 € and 165.50 € for the 2x4 brick or even 213.50 € and 245.50 € for the 2x8 storage brick depending on the version.

The target audience for these very high-end lifestyle products ultimately seems to be very different from those who usually pay for the more affordable plastic versions of these different accessories. I had fallen for the hooks that I find more discreet than the plastic versions, but at 134 € the set of 3 I will skip it ... The BÄNGBULA model in steel from IKEA at 1.99 € the set of 2 will do the case.
