interesting article and rather odd interview (with the son of) 60′-70’s czech toy designer libuse niklova who; in a similar vein to patrick ryland (see post from last week below) chose to use plastic as her material and made a classic collection of toys, with a very singular vision on design

many thanks to ania markham (post panic) for the link

…the name may not be immediately familiar to you, but if you grew up in the late 60s, 70s or 80s, the chances are you had at least one of his toys in your house, more specifically in your bath…

it wasn’t, i did and yes, i did…

interesting guardian piece about patrick ryland the british designer behind the classic playplax, ‘ambi toys’ and the hard to find, ceramic objects ‘bird & fish’
