Game design in wood
Kurt Naef’s games are the "Rolls Royce” of wooden games. In a fast-moving and electronically oriented time, they maintain their permanent position in the marketplace with timeless design; loving, high-quality workmanship; and sound pedagogical design. The broad range of products primarily consists of puzzles and games of skill, which enable the player to experience and train in spatial imagination, geometric principles, and coordination.
The Swiss cabinetmaker and furniture builder Kurt Naef began to produce his timeless, highquality wooden games in the late 1950s, developing them on his own and with designers. He reproduced a number of classic games by celebrated designers of the Bauhaus. Naef’s games are represented in the collections of important museums, for example in the Museum of Modern Art and in Japan.
