Cars are an integral part of childhood play for most kids as they inspire motion and imagination.
As designers and parents of two young boys, we wanted to design and create toys that are eco-friendly, durable and beautiful. Drawing on our experience on working with bamboo we wanted to create products that were influenced by the beauty of natural materials and the joy of hand-crafting. This resulted in ‘Made of Bamboo’, a new venture featuring beautiful, handcrafted and eco-friendly products.
