This treasure was never used or displayed. Originally opened to inspect when delivered to IDEAS AND OBJECTS, it has been in box, never unpacked other than removing items when photographed for this listing. The only adaptation to item has been that I did add tissue to the packing straw in the box as an extra precaution preparing it for safe travels to a new home.

Consisting of 27 differently shaped and colourfully painted wooden parts to join together, all parts hand-painted and handmade. To build stylisch, creative, crazy, colourful and absurd creatures. An absolute treasure for young and old.

Vintage Zolo 2 Higashi Glaser Wood Building Toy Sculpture. Original 27 piece, hand-carved, hand-painted wooden Zolo play sculpture set. This raw material set was introduced to the world by The Museum of Modern Art in 1986. Created by designers Byron Glaser and Sandra Higashi. ZoLO’s sensory-appealing shapes, organic construction method, open-ended play, and defiance of age and gender stereotypes soon carved a niche as diverse as the ZoLO pieces themselves--including adults and kids, people of challenged skill levels, individuals who connected with its inclusion of difference, and many who simply wanted a more creative form of play and self-expression. More than 20 years after its creation, ZoLO was recognized by the Toy Industry of America in their Commemorative Book,100 Years of the Power of Play, cited for its influence in the world of play alongside some of the most well-known and beloved toys of our time.
