This new interpretation of the classical toy car is inspired by the monoposto Grand Prix racers of the 1920s and 1930s. The retro design was realised by use of new materials and injection moulding processes. The cars are made of a sturdy, sustainable composite of coconut fibre and recycled plastic, which makes them durable and environmentally friendly. This results in light-running toy race cars that cut an equally good figure both on the play mat and as a collector’s item on the shelf.
Statement by the Jury
These cars draw their particular charm from the successful combination of a formal language derived from the past and a contemporary choice of materials and production form.
