Renessaince-Inspired Toys

The Da Vinci Executive Toy is a Stylish Blast From the Past

— March 15, 2011 — Life-Stages
Even centuries after his life and death, this revolutionary Renaissance man lives on through products like the Da Vinci Executive Toy. This piece clearly shows how artist Leonardo Da Vinci and his iconic creations continues to shape and influence the world today.

Designed and built with the artist’s unique aesthetic in mind, the Da Vinci Executive Toy doesn’t try to hide its obvious inspirations but rather embraces them. In fact, the device is intended to reflect his passion for constant motion, astronomy and timekeeping while also serving as a source of entertainment, mystery and wonder.

While it may not seem particularily well suited for very young children, the Da Vinci Executive Toy would (on account of its name) no doubt serve famously as a conversation starter or as a decorative piece for an office or home.
