Micki Leksaker is an inspirational Swedish company. It has been designing beautiful, elegant toys since its founding by Grandpa Aronsson in 1944. For three generations this family-owned enterprise has cared about and invested in the environment, its employees and its growing network of business partners.
Artiwood Australia recently secured exclusive distribution rights for Micki’s new range of Swedish designed wooden toys in enticing pastel colours. The range includes all of your favourite wooden classics such as alphabet blocks, stacking toys and pounding benches. Micki has also worked closely with Artiwood to adapt several products for the Australian market. Without doubt these toys are superb nursery gifts for Christmas, a baby shower or child’s first birthday.
Micki Leksaker is no ordinary company. It places huge demands on its toys. They must be safe, durable and attractive. Equally they must evoke an urge to play and learn. Micki avoids complicated manuals and confusing features. Instead it relies on inspired designs offering plenty of scope for a child’s own imagination. Otherwise a toy is sent back to the drawing board.
Micki’s commitment to intrinsically motivated learning means that the smallest details are given careful attention. For example, its sorting box includes a felt insert that softens noise as children play, while its walkers feature a braking mechanism to stabilise children as they find their balance.
Its commitment to sustainability is equally impressive. It uses timber sourced from low-risk sustainable species. It manufactures in ICTI certified factories that care for the welfare of their workers. It uses sawdust from its own factory to heat its head office and operates a fleet of green vehicles for company travel.
Andrew McGregor, Artiwood’s joint managing director, says Micki Lekasker is the only brand that Artiwood added to its catalogue this year.
“We actually planned for a year of consolidation in 2017, however, the moment we saw Micki’s pastel range we simply couldn’t let it pass. So many things impressed us about this company. For example, it operates its own fully equipped in-house toy safety testing laboratory. This means its toys don’t just look stunning, they’re also safe and designed to ensure.”
Micki Lesaker’s pastel range retails from $22.50 for five ring wooden stacking toy to $149.95 for versatile baby walker containing 50 pastel building blocks.
