Eric & Albert
Eric & Albert is a small family business in Wales, United Kingdom founded by husband and wife Martin & Rebecca. All the sustainable wooden toys are 100% handmade in-house at their studio, from designing, making, packaging, and everything in between.
Each piece is made from locally sourced sustainable hardwood, hand-carved carefully with smoothed edges and clean lines to realize their signature designs that give a realistic yet elegant and aesthetically pleasing style. Each piece is then brought to life with a splash of colour and details. Hand-painted with soft colour hues using all natural, vegan, plant-based stains, ensuring that there are no nasties on their toys, and allow the natural grains and beauty of the hardwood to shine through. All toys are CE certified to toy safety.
Their signature harmonious simple yet poetic shapes, clean lines and soft colours are not only attractive to children, but also inspire creativity and imagination in play, and bring a touch of warmth and sweetness as decor to homes.
The name "Eric & Albert" pays tributes to Martin & Rebecca's late grandads, who had shaped their childhoods with all things creative and crafty from a young age, and inspired and nurtured their journey of art and creativity.
