Architecture and toys have always crossed paths. They have fed from each other. A mutual source of inspiration of sorts. If it wasn’t for architecture, toys would not have existed. If it wasn’t the toys we would be different architects altogether. But it has been a battle too – there is only so much time in the world. That is why this year we have decided to blend those two even further.
We are using the toys to pay tribute to one of our favorite architectural movements. Our new, minimalist collection, Nordic woods is massively inspired by the Bauhaus movement. To celebrate its 100th anniversary we created a collection that is based on its main principles.
Just like the Bauhaus movement aimed to reunite fine art and functional design, we strive to create practical objects with the soul of artwork.
For the creation of our new toys, Nordic fox, wolf, moose and owl, we used graphic patterns from our actual architectural drawings as well as typical Bauhaus colors - black, white and red.
Bauhaus gave way to mass-production design patterns that were simple, rational and accessible to all people. The first 100 sets of toys will be entirely hand-made with each of them having a unique number and themed packaging. Any sets that might be produced after that will be machine-made.
Our toys are:
- intellectual puzzle challenge to kids and adults
- minimalist design for home decoration
- eco-friendly products
- suitable for storytelling, animal learning, collecting, original gift
Most of ESNAF toys last long after children stop playing with them.
We make toys for life!
Next project from ESNAF toys is coming up live on KICKSTARTER on 15th of JUNE.
