Oliver says that when he was a child, he loved building huts by accumulating branches, leaves and other plants. This construction method is the starting point of Yo which revisits assembling game in a simple and fun way. Inspired by plant forms, Yo consists of a main body (trunk of a tree) on which we put additional modules (leaves). Its intuitive and modular shape leads us to experiment and create a light, balanced structure, and generates new stories and adventures in our mind.
