Brio Network 1-1.5- 10.31.09
Brio Network Collection ~ first time seeing it in person, i just noticed it in a tiny kids play cubby hole in Magasin 3 in Stockholm! Between the lovely space and works i totally got sucked into photographing these very well played with and possibly chewed on little woody guys reenacting how computers work… from emails to viruses and search and more! If you recall, i’ve written about Series 1 here and here in the past… but this is the first look at them up close, now i’m so tempted to try to track down the full set!
p.s.
for americans, i found a few at Amazon: Brio Network Toys

As a wooden toy supplier, I am definitely fascinated by these lovely designs. Some of the items are made of wood and they are not easy to make according to all the production processes so far. Anyway, the best part is the philosophy behind this - an interpretation of the network through the annotation of track sets. I mean track set is a classic and common item in the wooden toy industry but gosh I like the new clothes of it!
Bravo is the only word I can think of.
