Grapat are the creators of beautiful wooden toys without instructions (aka open-ended). Their philosophy is to let children play, slowly, without time limits. The wooden toys are made following traditional processes, in the old way, with thick soft raw materials, natural dyes which let the wood veins be seen and vibrant coloured waxes and oils that slightly shine. The products are painted by hand, homemade, surrounded by land, fire, rivers and many children nearby, who inspire them daily.
