Description
CANDYLAB Fire Chief
Bright red, heirloom wood toy car, inspired by mid-century American design and car culture.
Elegant proportions reminiscent of iconic 1960’s automobiles, complex carving details, perfectly smooth rubber tires and lively graphics - all add up to a stunning toy.
Dense beechwood gives each car its unexpected heft, making for highly realistic play scenarios based on real world physics – evident in ramp jumps and landings. The water-based paints and clear urethane are safe and environmentally conscious – while the high gloss finish, cool graphics and candy-like colours spark imaginative play scenarios.
Material: Solid Beech Wood, Water Based Paint and Clear Urethane
Dimensions: 18.3cm x 7.3cm x 5cm
Care instructions: Wipe with a damp cloth and a few drops of soapy water if needed.
Note: This has been safety tested according to Australian & New Zealand regulations.

____________________________________________________
Candylab Toys was born out of our desire to revive the glamorous '60s American modernist vibe and carve it into awesome contemporary wood toy designs.
As artists, designers and parents we draw on many influences, not least of which are our deep love of classic American Cars and the craftsmanship spirit of mid-century artisan furniture designers.
Coupled with the realisation that we’re slowly drowning in forgettable toys that break and disassemble — ending in piles of plastic bits — this determined us to create a line of heirloom wood toys that are elegant, durable, and simple, giving children a chance to create their own stories around the objects they play with.
