Buzz Helicopter aims at being the worker bee of the helicopter category. Buzz is versatile, and can take on a variety of scenarios.

Ᾰ-table (pronounced “alpha-table”) is beautifully simplistic with a stylish industrial aesthetic.

This unique construction relies entirely on bolts meaning you won’t find any screws or glue!
