1965 Design Blockland
Text of Corry and Rokus from the exhibition catalogue "Childsplay" in the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam;
Toys should have the simplicity of the natural material, but with a certain orientation. Everything that is not relevant, may be omitted. Toys are developing material.
Always the requirement remains: the possibility exists to assert their creativity.
Toys must be a reason to play.
The designer of toys should the children provide material to play. With toys that are worthy of the name in full;
good to play with.
