Every now and then you’ll stumble onto something unique. I was looking around online for some modern furniture and happened to find some modern design toys by Monroe Workshop. I had to share some of the photos here.
Monroe Workshop is primarily a Los Angeles-based design studio and furniture workshop. They created a line of handmade, collectible toys that are constructed from various species of natural hardwood and dye-free cotton rope.
You could say that these toys were designed for creative kids and the young at heart. I don’t know why, but I like the Robot Monkey a lot. The herd of Mini Robot Horses are pretty cool too. And what child wouldn’t love a Robot Monkey Rocking Horse? The toys are all extremely durable because of the materials and Monroe Workshop says that they have been tested for safety.
Matt Monroe, the owner and lead-designer of Monroe Workshop, hoped to create toys and whimsical gifts that would become a part of family’s lives for years to come. Inspired by his two young daughters, Matt handcrafted these simple yet expressive little guys to encourage imaginative play and to flow with the design of any home.
The Monroe Workshop line of toys are made in Los Angeles and are currently for sale at www.monroeworkshop.com
