These Speks Blocks Are The Desk Toys You Need

WORK/PLAY BALANCE

Desk toys should be an integral part of the workplace, and the Blocks by Speks should be the status quo.

Speks, creators of desk toys for adults, has taken one step into the future with their newest product: Blocks. They’re as if a stress ball, building blocks, and Tetris somehow had a baby and it was magnetic. The smooth matte finish is incredibly satisfying to hold and they're oddly malleable for how sturdy they are, a mystery only Speks knows the answer to.

The Beams and Brackets feature “14 magnets in 9 clackable, stackable pieces,” which promises an endless amount of combination to build, move, and play with. I use mine to ease tension after typing on a keyboard all day or when I’m thinking about my next move (which is usually to get up to get a snack from the kitchen).

The $30 Blocks come in five different colors and each color features three different shades to create a pleasing ombre effect. The Blocks by Speks are the desk toy of the future.
