Vintage Wood


Plywood Elephant by Charles and Ray Eames, 1945

Warm and natural, wood is such an attractive material to me. 
I still cherish a Swedish dala horse from my childhood...
too bad that my lovely Enzo Mari animal puzzle is gone!

These modern vintage wooden creations are a
wonderful mix of toy, sculpture and design object...
Riding Snail by Antonio Vitali, 1940s-50s, via Quintessentia


Puffin, Monkey and Elephant by Kay Bojesen, 1951-53



Puzzle Bird Tree by Shigeo Fukuda, 1965
