IC Design Classics - Antonio Vitali - Fox

Enjoy the striking elegance and beauty of a fox with this handturned wooden animal figure

This animal figure was designed by Antonio Vitali and is strikingly real and true to nature. It convinces visually and is a pleasure to touch with its smooth surface.

Antonio Vitali (1909 – 2008) was a Swiss toy designer known for creating beautifully sculpted and rounded, handmade wooden toys, with simplicity and texture that satisfy at a sensual and emotional level. 

“The designs I created evolved out of years of observing children at play. Good toys have to contain the possibility for the child to develop emotionally and intellectually. Small, softly shaped objects which fit into the little child’s hand are perceived as joyful and friendly and are repeatedly touched.” Antonio Vitali

The fox was designed in 1944
