[RSS]: Designer insight: Dan Squirrell

Юли 31, 2023

Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.

Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.

Dan Squirrell wrote this about their work on 40634 Icons of Play:

This set was a collaboration between myself and Chico. The original idea came from him (which was more function based), but through the process we guided the design to one of a football pitch.

I wanted to pay homage to some of the old LEGO Football sets, of which I spent many hours playing with as a child. It is designed that if you buy two, you have a whole pitch, a red team and a blue team (incl specific goalkeepers) and you can join the stands together to make one long function. The longest we tested was 8 stands together.

It was an honour to add to the LEGO Football umbrella. I hope it inspires like it is intended to.
