La IDA

La IDA is a Stuttgart design brand built on one premise, that the way is the game. Its first product, Loggos, was developed in 2017 while founder Max Hartmann was still studying; the decision to produce it came in 2021 after a visit to a retirement home showed how the stacking game worked as a social object, and a Kickstarter campaign with local workshops funded the first sets.

Loggos is a stacking game in German beech and Canadian walnut, with pieces held together by a special grip film, made to train motor skills and balance and now used in occupational therapy, dementia wards and with ADHD patients. Production runs through the inclusive workshops of Lebenshilfe in Stuttgart, with plastic-free, climate-neutral packaging and the shortest possible routes; the game is now sold through the Frechling shop while La IDA develops further games.
