What you are walking into

You inherit a Japanese workshop that a mountain of plastic bricks has swallowed. There is no timer and no fail state. Each part you file makes the pile visibly smaller. The studio line is blunt: sorting by color looks beautiful, and then you cannot find a small piece again. Sort by part. The British spelling Never Sort By Colour points at the same game; that URL redirects here.

The loop the store page and the studio page both describe: Magnet Glove pulls every loose copy of one part, Sorter’s Eye lights that part through the pile, a Sieve Tray splits a scoop by size, Bucket Sort flings bricks into four bound bins, and Locators light the home drawer. You buy cabinets, drawers, and labels, then open a model book and build it piece by piece.
