BEAMALEVICH

Red. Blue. Yellow. Black grid. The construction set that brings Mondrian from the museum frame to your desk.

HOUSE Mondrian is not a toy. It’s a playable object — an architecture construction set by Beamalevich from Barcelona that translates the visual language of Piet Mondrian (born 1872 in Amersfoort, Netherlands — the co-founder of the De Stijl movement in Leiden, 1917, alongside Theo van Doesburg) into a three-dimensional, infinitely reconfigurable object. Wooden bases with guide rails, metal corner walls, and magnetic façade elements with Mondrian’s characteristic visual language — primary colours (red, blue, yellow), black grid lines, white fields — click and hold together without glue. Assemble it. Rearrange it. Put it on the shelf. A compact work of art that invites experimentation.

Architecture Construction Set · Piet Mondrian · Beamalevich · Barcelona · Wood & Metal & Magnets

You’re looking for a gift for someone who loves architecture, design or art — and for whom a book isn’t enough? HOUSE Mondrian brings Piet Mondrian from the museum frame to the desk. Mondrian — trained at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, co-founder of De Stijl in Leiden in 1917 — developed with his Neoplasticism one of the most rigorous and influential visual languages of the 20th century: primary colours only, black and white only, horizontal and vertical lines only. This visual language — radically reduced, but never empty, geometrically precise, but always in tension — is embedded in every magnetic element of this set. Xavier Vidal, founder of Beamalevich in Barcelona and creator of the construction game Arquitecton, has built a set with HOUSE that changes every time you touch it.

The wooden bases with guide rails are connected using 90° metal corner walls to form a building skeleton — no glue, no tools. The magnetic façade elements are then slid into the rails of the wooden pieces: Mondrian motifs with primary colours and black grid, transforming the raw skeleton into a design object. The elements hold magnetically and can be rearranged at any time. Includes a bonus set: a second pack of magnetic elements with alternative design inside the box. Packaging: 24.5 × 9.1 × 5.5 cm.

What exactly is included in the set?

The set contains 3 large rectangular wooden bases with guide rails, 1 medium rectangular wooden base, 1 small square wooden base, 9 L-shaped metal corner walls, and 14 magnetic elements with Mondrian motifs (primary colours, black grid lines, white fields). Bonus: a second pack of magnetic elements with alternative design inside the box. No glue, no tools, no fixed assembly instructions — every configuration is valid.

Is this a children’s toy?

No — Beamalevich describes HOUSE explicitly as a “construction toy for serious people.” The set is designed for adults who want not just to look at architecture, design and art, but to touch it. The small components and the cultural context (Mondrian, De Stijl, Neoplasticism) make HOUSE an object for desks, shelves and sideboards — not children’s rooms.

Who is Piet Mondrian — and why is he the inspiration?

Piet Mondrian (1872, Amersfoort, Netherlands — 1944, New York) is, alongside Kandinsky and Malevich, one of the most important pioneers of abstract art. In 1917 he co-founded De Stijl with Theo van Doesburg in Leiden — a movement that reduced art to its essentials: primary colours, black, white, horizontal and vertical lines. His influence extends from the Bauhaus to the Rietveld Schröder House (Utrecht, 1924) and into every design that places a premium on reduction and clarity. That quality is embedded in every façade element of the HOUSE Mondrian set.

Can the assembled house be left on permanent display?

Yes — and that’s one of the set’s strengths. HOUSE Mondrian is designed as a permanent display piece that stands on a desk, shelf or sideboard. Since all elements connect magnetically or by sliding, the object can be redesigned at any time: different façades, different arrangement, different configuration. It is never finished — that is the intention.

Are there other HOUSE sets by Beamalevich?

Yes. Beamalevich has expanded the HOUSE series to include several iconic buildings and art movements: HOUSE Bauhaus Dessau (after Gropius), HOUSE Eames (after Ray & Charles Eames), HOUSE Unité d’Habitation (after Le Corbusier), HOUSE Malevich, HOUSE Op Art (after Vasarely) and HOUSE Metropolis. All follow the same principle: playable object, cultural reference, no glue.

HOUSE Mondrian — Beamalevich & Piet Mondrian. The object that is never finished.
