Toy designed by ko verzuu, circa 1950. Manufactured by ado in netherlands. Blue trailer with wooden wheel and set of blocks. Signed with an ado metal plate. In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Ko verzuu (1901-1971) a former construction supervisor from utrecht, led the ado -arbeid door onvolwaardigen- workshops. In addition, he designed the cars, building blocks, games and doll furniture, that were handmade by his team of patients. Verzuu tested the quality of his toys on his own children. He immersed himself in art and architecture, with which he developed a strong preference for abstract lines and bright colors found in the 1920s group, de stijl. Ado toys, therefore, are curiously avant-garde, inspired by the great artists of the time. In 2012, they were on show as part of the ‘century of the child: growing by design, 1900-2000' exhibition in moma, new york. The same year, the coda museum in apeldoorn, netherlands. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
