My Sweet Dog by Yoshitomo Nara.
It seems artoyz has recently widened their range of products to wooden toys - not just any wooden toys mind you but a small selection from the Artists’ catalogue of Vilac.
I’m not so fond of the Keith Haring’s chairs or the “Raymond” pencil holder/pot by Hervé Di Rosa, but I discovered “My Sweet Dog” recently when writing my article on Nara and it is simply perfect.
Furthermore, Vilac is located in the Jura (France) where my family comes from (both my parents were born there) and the toys are manufactured with great care there, which are all good reasons to buy those toys…

I couldn’t agree more, I LOVE Vilac pull toys and I found a nice selection on via French Source at http://vilac.us
Watch out because even many of Vilac’s toys are made in China out of cheap materials. But if you stick to the lacquered wooden choices (the only ones carried by French Source) those are the toys Vilac is known for and rightly so.
