It was in the late 1960s when Tom van der Bruggem decided to turn a deserted farm into a castle. In order to visualize his project, he made a model using wooden cubes. But the wooden cubes were not optimal for his modeling. Therefore, he decided to design his own wooden construction pieces. This passion led Bruggem to start his company, Kapla. With Kapla wooden planks, people can create masterpieces. For example, the Italian artist, who is a photography director at the same time, Raffaele Salvoldi, started creating architectural forms using Kapla planks. In 2022, he established the Wood Arc, which he built with thousands of planks.

The artist stated that one piece of the Wood Arc collection takes approximately four months to complete. It seems he does have hesitations about exhibiting his works. because during transportation, the pieces might get damaged. But he already exhibited his new work at Villa Bono, Italy.

The artist invites visitors to watch him stacking Kapla wooden planks. Once the structure is ready to be taken down, the visitors can join the artist in demolishing the structure like dominoes.
