David Weeks Wooden Toys

These beautiful wooden toys were designed by David Weeks. In his 'growing collection of accessible domestic objects', Weeks' designs span every room of the home in varying materials. In the true tradition of inventors, his designs are not contained to a single genre or inspiration. They are many. While his profile proclaims Weeks' dynamic use of conceptual design and cutting-edge materials, these wooden animals are a refreshing exploration of natural materials. Back to the basics for this urban street culture dreamer.

David Weeks is my new favorite designer. You have got to check out his work!

Hanno the Gorilla and Ursa the Bear go for a cool $85-$125 bones from Areaware. I prefer Hanno.
