Handkerchief - Atelier Niki Tiki

A cotton handkerchief produced for Atelier Niki Tiki, the Japanese company known for introducing generations of European wooden toys and children's design to Japan. The design presents a playful illustrated timeline of toys spanning more than a century, from early-1900s building toys and figures through to designs from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Printed in white on bright red cotton, the drawings reference toys by European makers including Naef, Keller, JUGGLA and Dusyma, reflecting Atelier Niki Tiki's long-standing relationship with European toy design. The piece works equally well as a handkerchief, small textile or wall display.
