Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

The Committee Toy Car

This toy car seems quite innocent, with its oversized handle for pushing
around the floor and its traditional craftsmanship – using timber and
steel – but when you look closer it reveals something much more
sinister.

The Committee toy car, designed by Brad Denboer for the Auditorium Toy Co., shows a birds-eye-view of suited people with one slumped forward, hands behind his back. In the ‘boot’ there are a number of items, including a rope, shovel, tape recorder and wrench.

We’ll leave the rest up to your imagination. We’re unclear if this toy is meant for kids, or big kids, but either way it is a beautifully crafted design that is definitely worthy of a mention.

It’s got a limited edition of just 25, with each individually numbered with a small metal plate – so it’s unlikely there are many left – but you can track down Denboer here and we’re sure he’ll be able to suggest something else that’s in the pipeline.

However, you can definitely purchase one of the Auditorium Toy Co.’s other items, the Boattail Racer, made using high-quality wheels and polished ply, all beautifully boxed. Click here to place your order.
