In a room crammed from ceiling to floor with boxes, cabinets, and drawers of Lego bricks, Hoang Dang intently builds a bright blue, yellow, and red fishing boat with a Vietnamese flag and eyes at its prow.
The industrial designer has loved Lego for as long as he can remember but started collecting it seriously a few years ago on an overseas study trip to Detroit, amazed by the range of sets available in the United States.
Hoang is most inspired by scenes close to home in Vietnam, painstakingly recreating his childhood house, a temple in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, and a 1990s living room during Lunar New Year, all in intricate and colorful miniature detail, Reuters said.
