Old-School Cool: Charming Toy Cars Made of Nothin' But Wood

• Wired.com

Now, the team that makes these cool toy cars is coming out with its 2015 models, and you're going to want them for your desk kids.

Candylab and its cars were born in Brooklyn, but it's now a four-person team spread out across Brooklyn, L.A., and London. Each of the team members has a day job, so making these rides is just a fun hobby. Co-founder Vlad Dragusin is an architect during business hours, and co-founder Florin Galliano is a product developer in L.A.

Like the first batch of cars, the new toy rides are all about minimalism. Their bodies are abstract but still recognizable representations of classic cars. The number of pieces in each car is kept to a minimum, too. There's solid beechwood for the body, a few metal pins, plastic rims, rubber tires, and some paint. That's it.
