New York-based designer Patrick Weder's toy car designs appeal to both children and their parents. Chic parents often gasp at the sight of their kids' toys taking up precious living room space and compromising the meticulously planned home decor. However, Patrick Weder's toy cars are chunky, wooden, modern and unique pieces that resemble artworks rather than toys for the little ones.
Using natural wood and a fairytale-esque design, parents everywhere will think again when telling their kids to clean up their toys.
