Concept

Delivering Corporate Philosophy to the Next Generation

Inspiration

It was born from my childhood memories of collecting pockets full of nuts. I hope that children will develop a rich sensibility through exposure to wooden toys made of natural materials from an early age.

Research

Based on “Wooden Education from Age 0,” I have investigated the growth process of infants and mapped out their growth stages up to age 1. Primitive reflexes (sucking reflex/palm grasping reflex) and shapes that soothe babies were the important elements for this design.

Design

Each product is carefully crafted by artisans with the hope that babies will develop a rich sensitivity through exposure to wooden toys made from natural materials from an early age. Each of the five toys has its own shape and characteristics that attract babies' interest.
