Product Description
In a world of Game Boys and X-Boxes, the games of Kurt Naef maintain their position in the market due to loving, high-quality workmanship and timeless design. The Swiss cabinetmaker and furniture builder Kurt Naef began to produce his timeless, high-quality wooden games in the late 1950s, developing them on his own and with well-known designers. He reproduced a number of classic games by celebrated designers from the Bauhaus. His broad range of products consist primarily of puzzles and games of skill, which enable the player to experience and train their spatial imagination, geometric principles, and coordination. Naef's games are represented in the collections of important museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in Japan. Kurt Naef: The Toymaker is the first comprehensive work on the work of Kurt Naef and will be published to celebrate the game designer's eightieth birthday.
