I got in from work today to see that the toys I had worked on in India while at Gween Toys had gained the recognition I always hoped they would get. They’ve appeared on Inhabitots.com with the headline “Exquisite, Interactive Wooden ‘Gween’ Toys Engage and Delight Tots”. To a designer, there is no higher satisfaction than knowing that the people who use your products enjoy them.
I remember being sat down on my first day at Gween with a pencil and sketchpad and being told to design some toys. Six months later, I left having worked tirelessly developing not only the toys, but the packaging and the whole brand with my colleagues, in particularly Anindita Sengupta, who designed Gwomies and Gusto in the range.
It’s now great to see that they’re selling well and being enjoyed by their new owners. The toys are available from the Gween Toys website and Amazon.
Hi Adrian- I had the pleasure of writing about your amazing design on Inhabitots. As an artist myself, I understand and recognize when heart and soul are involved in creation, as is the case with the cast of characters that comprise Gween Toys. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the next generation.
Fondly,
Beth Shea
