Lucite Cars from Ikonic Toys
IKONIC, a Dutch design label that creates playful design objects, has also had its struggles with the situation surrounding COVID-19 that has arisen in 2020. By processing canceled and deferred orders and stopping shipments from suppliers, the brand was forced to think in a different direction. What could be a solution was to produce locally, preferably without huge pre-production investments.
With that in mind, IKONIC founder Maurice Doorduyn designed the Lucite series; toy cars consisting of a stack of laser-cut acrylic sheets, cut by the local laser service. The inspiration came from early 20th century Art Deco car designs.
The combination of different sheet thicknesses and colors creates a layered design with depth, which changes with the incidence of light and the colors from the environment.
The cars are made to order and are assembled by hand.
