Toys by Kurt Naef and Wilhelm Kienzle for Naef

Four variations of building blocks by Kurt Naef. The first is the famous Naef Spiel (1958) still in production today. The two bottom images show the Trigon toy by Wilhelm Kienzle who is known here in Switzerland for his product and furniture design, especially his metal boxes for tools and shoe cleaning sets that used to be part of the inventory of many Swiss households (still are in my house).
Images from a relatively early article about Naef in Werk 1/1964.

Architecture for children

 

The sun is shining, take the kids to a playground - a modernist playground! Gabriela Burkhalter's Website Architektur für Kinder (architecture for children) is a wonderful ressource for playground projects by artists and architects between 1945 and 1975. Often with radically new concepts, they were not only modern in shape, but also mirroring modernist reform pedagogy with their combination of strict modernism and abstraction, playfulness, openness and variability (emphasis on creativity) and a sense for adventure.

From top to bottom:

Plastic construction toy Made in Switzerland from a time when even small toy companies in Switzerland believed in the big modernist project.

The company and the toy still exist and they use the same logo, but in a very different package design.
