The love for games, toys and for wood (as a material) is the personal basis of my work. Living in the countryside close to nature ourselves, discovering nature’s treasures and knowing of its endangerment constitute our working principle: natural-organic-ecological. Since wood as a material possesses unique haptics, it can be discovered by children playfully and in an unspoilt way. The feeling of warmth, the solidity and the smell of wood address the child’s senses. As we work with certified natural materials only, children can also explore the toy orally. Wood is a renewable resource which, at the end of its usage time, returns to the natural cycle and does not burden our ecological system. The entire manufacturing process is committed to this principle. Wood requires a shaping, which in the light of this principle impacts the co-education of the child’s play pedagogically and balances it at the same time as it exudes a peacefulness and aesthetic appearance. The Production is work-intensive and requires knowledge and attention to detail. This makes the products valuable. A wooden dollhouse or a farmstead are gifts for life which can be passed on through many generations.
