IDE’s own Lego Master, Bas Brederode, in TV show

Are you looking for a welcome distraction in these turbulent times? Tune in to ‘Lego Masters’, a new TV programme featuring IDE alumnus, Bas Brederode, now a senior designer at Lego.

In this primetime Saturday night show, eight pairs from the Netherlands and Belgium compete to construct a Lego building within a limited timeframe. Brickmaster, Bas Brederode, is a member of the judging panel and is responsible for deciding which pair will be crowned Lego Masters, winning €25,000 in prize money. Bas judges the Lego constructions, focusing on each team’s ability to tell a story through their creations; the use of innovative building techniques, as well as creativity and passion.

A Lego recruitment poster pinned up on a wall at TU Delft was the instigator for Bas finding his dream job. Nowadays he works from Lego’s headquarters in Denmark where he is responsible for 50 popular sets.

Watch the show this coming Saturday on RTL 4 from 20:00 with Kürt Rogiers and Ruben Nicolai as presenters.
