CANDYLAB Fire Chief Bright red, heirloom wood toy car, inspired by mid-century American design and car culture. A beloved classic vintage toy, the Firechief is a throwback to simpler times. It sports a bright red coat, carries a giant rooflight and inspired selfless heroism. Elegant proportions reminiscent of iconic 1960’s automobiles, complex carving details, perfectly smooth rubber tires and lively graphics - all add up to a stunning toy. Dense beechwood gives each car its unexpected heft, making for highly realistic play scenarios based on real world physics – evident in ramp jumps and landings. The water-based paints and clear urethane are safe and environmentally conscious – while the high gloss finish, cool graphics and candy-like colours spark imaginative play scenarios.

ABOUT CANDYLAB: "Old-School Cool: Charming wood toys made of nothin' but wood"-Tim Moynihan, WIRED "Let’s Face It: These Minimalist Toy Cars Were Designed For Parents"-John Brownlee, FastCo Design "Treat your favourite littlie to a gift that encourages good ol’ fashioned playtime, well away from the screens."-James Kickinski-McCoy, MOTHERMAG ____________________________________________________ Candylab Toys was born out of our desire to revive the glamorous '60s American modernist vibe and carve it into awesome contemporary wood toy designs. As artists, designers and parents we draw on many influences, not least of which are our deep love of classic American Cars and the craftsmanship spirit of mid-century artisan furniture designers. Coupled with the realisation that we’re slowly drowning in forgettable toys that break and disassemble — ending in piles of plastic bits — this determined us to create a line of heirloom wood toys that are elegant, durable, and simple, giving children a chance to create their own stories around the objects they play with.
