    The House That Burned Three Times — the Quiet History of LEGO

    The House That Burned Three Times — the Quiet History of LEGO A carpenter in the tiny Danish village of Billund loses his home and workshop to fire, rebuilds, loses a factory to fire, rebuilds again — and when a third fire takes the warehouse holding thirty years of wooden toys, the family does something braver than starting over: they let the wood go, and stake everything on a small plastic brick. Tonight, the slow story of Ole Kirk Christiansen and the company that became LEGO — the widowed carpenter, the name won with a bottle of homemade wine, the machine nobody quite trusted, the stud-and-tube brick of 1958 that still clicks into one made this morning, the near-collapse of 2003, and the quiet turnaround. Told slowly, and quietly, for as long as you can stay awake. A production of The Good Company — thegoodcompany.ae Ads only ever appear before the story begins — we never interrupt the story.
