If you're in Paris this Summer and beyond, you might want to pay a visit to the Toy Gallery at the Musée d'Arts Décoratifs where a new exhibition 'Playful Plastic', a retrospective of the work of the Czech designer Libuše Niklová (1934–1981), will be on show until 6 November. The website's in French, but you can have a look at the slideshow for a quick visual overview of the toymaker's work and perhaps order the bilingual Czech/English catalogue.
A happy find, via Milk Magazine
J´aime beaucoup le travail de Libuše Niklová! J´avais ses jouets quand j´était petite..
