Drilling for Bricks
When Transocean needed a staff gift to celebrate a huge contract for their rig, the Transocean Barents, they faced a few challenges. How could they create something their team from all over the world would enjoy? And how could they gift something small enough to tuck into a crowded duffel bag, but was also fun and interactive?
It just so happens that Playwell Bricks had a solution for all of those issues: a custom microscale drilling rig set designed specifically for Transocean.

This wasn’t designer Yvonne Strijbos’ first drilling rig set, but this was her first in microscale. “Rethinking parts was a challenge,” she admits. Despite this admission, Yvonne makes it look easy, cleverly using brick carrots for the lifeboats in a design choice that’s sure to make even the grimmest of drillers smile.
Fun and interactive? ✔️
