Marco Merulla, a student of the Faculty of Design and Art, www.unibz.it had the idea for and created Giocattoli d’epoca. Thanks to his research, he has been able to recreate various toys from the post-war period from simple materials.

The project is made up of a set with instructions on how to build eight toys and a »starter kit« with the necessary pieces to make three of them. After having discovered the simplicity of these toys, there is a natural impulse to look for the materials to make the other ones. A further aim of the project is to bring generations together through practical means.

Giocattoli d’epoca is like the designs of tomorrow: simple, effective and even a little bit subversive.
