Toy designers Byron Glaser and Sandra Higashi intended their ZolO construction sets to inspire creativity. Making their first sets in 1986 of whimsically shaped wooden pieces decorated with felt-tipped pens and color pencils, they sold their first sets at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The sets now sell in toy stores with the slogan: "Knobby, blobby, skinny, squatty, square and round, plan or spotty. ZolO is everything imaginablw-and it all goes together as one."
