On the occasion of the sci-fi festival “Les Utopiales” in Nantes, DaBrick organized a competition of Lego spacecraft construction. Métalobil was asked to create a way to make them fly above the visitors.  Hence, we fixed a hundred of hooks hanging from the ceiling and the spacecrafts were hanged up gradually.

Let’s find out the results of this competition there.

DaBrick is a business specialized in creating models made out of LEGO bricks: they work for architects, private individuals and representatives. They also work for this project for the french national spatial research center in collaboration with Métalobil.

Les Utopiales is an annual and international sci-fi festival taking place in Nantes since 2000. Its objectives are to extend its accessibility for all and to make discover the fabulous worlds of space exploration and sci-fi imagination.
