It’s a playable object — an architecture construction set by Beamalevich from Barcelona that translates the visual language of Victor Vasarely (1906, Pécs, Hungary — the “father of Op Art”) into a three-dimensional, infinitely reconfigurable object. Wooden bases with guide rails, metal corner walls, and magnetic façade elements featuring Vasarely’s most iconic motifs — zebra patterns from the 1930s, geometric grids, flag and aviation signals — click and hold without glue. Assemble it. Rearrange it. Put it on the shelf.

HOUSE Op Art brings Victor Vasarely from the museum frame to the desk. Vasarely — trained at the Mühely Academy in Budapest, the Hungarian equivalent of the Bauhaus, under Sándor Bortnyik — created “Zebra” in 1937: one of the earliest works of Op Art, two intertwined zebras defined solely by swinging black-and-white stripes, without a contour line. This visual language — geometric patterns that destabilise the gaze, create depth where there is none, suggest movement where stillness reigns — is embedded in every magnetic element of this set. Xavier Vidal, founder of Beamalevich in Barcelona and creator of the construction game Arquitecton, has made HOUSE a set that changes every time you touch it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eHow HOUSE Op Art works\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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: Op Art motifs after Vasarely that transform the raw skeleton into an optical experiment. The elements hold magnetically and can be rearranged at any time. Includes a 1:100 figure set — the standard scale of the architectural model world.

The small individual parts and the cultural context (Victor Vasarely, Op Art, architectural model scale) make HOUSE an object for desks, shelves and sideboards — not children’s rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWho is Victor Vasarely — and why is he the inspiration?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eVictor Vasarely (1906, Pécs, Hungary — 1997, Paris) is the “father of Op Art” — the movement that uses geometric forms to create optical illusions: apparent depth, movement, vibration. His 1937 work “Zebra” is considered one of the earliest examples of this aesthetic. Vasarely is the master of the pattern that destabilises the eye — and that quality is embedded in every façade element of the HOUSE Op Art set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eCan the assembled house be left on permanent display?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eYes — and that’s one of the set’s strengths. HOUSE Op Art 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.

HOUSE Op Art translates this two-dimensional visual language into a three-dimensional, touchable form: every magnetic element a Vasarely motif that reads differently depending on configuration and angle of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eThe object as display piece and conversation starter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the desk of an architecture practice, in the bookcase of a gallerist, or on the sideboard of a design studio: HOUSE Op Art functions as sculpture, reference object and exhibition piece in one.
