Playsam products are classic yet contemporary, fanciful yet functional, simple yet sophisticated. At first glance, these characteristics may seem slightly contradictory. But Playsam firmly believes that opposites attract. As the leading Scandinavian design company in its class, Playsam creates innovative and timeless wooden toys for the young and young at heart. With each and every toy, Playsam strives for physical functionality and an art form that challenges pre-existing artistic concepts and conventions. Playsam’s mission is to shape wooden toys that exude charm and charisma while simultaneously stimulating the very soul. The products' capacity to appeal to the mind's eye is equally as significant as their bright and glossy surfaces. Playsam products are very safe to play with. Playsam uses a lacquer paint, free of all toxic materials, including lead. This lacquer paint has been thoroughly tested for toxins in independent laboratories. Wooden toys are made of beech from Germany or Italy. All Playsam products are produced to conform to heavy metal (toxicology) testing mandated by the ASTM for US and Canada. They meet all industry standards within EN71 part 3.
