Ole Kirk Christiansen

Description: (Inventor)
Ole Kirk Christiansen founded the construction toy company Lego in 1932. Initially a small woodworking shop, the company transitioned to manufacturing wooden toys before officially being named Lego in 1934. In 1947, the business shifted to producing plastic bricks after acquiring a plastic moulding injection machine. Christiansen's legacy is seen in his transformation of a modest workshop into the globally recognized Lego brand we know today.
