EXHIBIT 14 · THE LEGO IDEAS EXPERIMENT
LEGO Ideas changes who can begin the design process. A fan proposes an object, a community decides whether it deserves attention, and LEGO designers determine how that proposal can become a product. The resulting sets are not one genre; they are evidence that enthusiasm itself—for a machine, a film, a room, or an overlooked object—can become the beginning of an official model.
