OXO - Magic Kite

The magic kite was created as a mass consumption product with qualities that a layperson and a serious hobbyist would enjoy. It can be instantaneously unfolded for use, and folded back into a bag.

Words from Alejandro Salesi, x|cruza estudio:

"The magic kite was born under the need to transform a hobbyist product into a mass consumption product. We investigated a wide range of these products and decided that all kites required a certain level of expertise for their construction and use. Working with this knowledge was the principal aspect of "an instantaneous" kite, which unfolds automatically in a few seconds and then is ready to be flown."
