These elements interlock using magnetism, allowing for them to be assembled in various ways.
Geomag was created in May 1998 by Claudio Vicentelli. Geomag products are manufactured by Geomagworld SA, based in Novazzano, Switzerland. To align with the 2009/48/EC law's nickel content regulations for toys, the design was adjusted to feature spheres coated with a bronze alloy.
