The gallery catalogue

Four paths into play.

From the satisfying click of a winding key to a game piece waiting for its next move, each grouping looks at a different kind of collectible delight.

Illustrated clockwork robot with silver body and winding key

Collection 01 / motion

Vintage mechanical toys

Mechanical toys put their workings on display. A key, a lever, or a small push sets a contained sequence in motion, making the object feel like a tiny machine with a stage presence.

  • Wind-up
  • Springs
  • Metal & tin
Illustrated red miniature roadster with silver wheel details

Collection 02 / scale

Miniature vehicles

Miniature vehicles invite close inspection. Body lines, wheel patterns, windows, and painted trim transform the familiar language of transport into a pocket-sized study in proportion.

  • Roadsters
  • Wheels
  • Small scale
Illustrated classic checkerboard with game pieces and a die

Collection 03 / pattern

Classic board games

A board game begins as a graphic field: squares, lines, tokens, cards, and chance. These objects make the table a shared surface for strategy, ritual, and the pleasure of taking turns.

  • Boards
  • Tokens
  • Tabletop
Illustrated stacking rings, toy block and pull-along bird

Collection 04 / character

Collectible playthings

  • Friendly shapes
  • Everyday play
