ABOUT Naef: The Swiss cabinetmaker and furniture builder Kurt Naef began to produce his timeless, high-quality wooden games in the late 1950s, developing them on his own and with designers. He reproduced a number of classic games by celebrated designers of the Bauhaus. Naef's games are represented in the collections of important museums, for example in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and in Japan.
The design language of minimalism and functionality runs through the entire Naef assortment. Naef stands for top-class toys made of wood fascinating both children and adults.

Kurt Naef's games are the "Rolls Royce" of wooden games. In a fast-moving and electronically oriented time, they maintain their permanent position in the marketplace with timeless design-loving and high-quality workmanship. The wide range of products primarily consists of puzzles and games of skill, which enable the player to experience and train in spatial imagination, geometric principles, and coordination.

Naef toys are handcrafted in small numbers and undergo a level of care rarely found with other manufacturers – when it comes to cutting and hand-sanding the wood, which comes from sustainable Central European timber farming. The exactness of the angles and planes allows us to experience the beauty of geometry in a satisfying way that we are denied with lesser quality materials and fabrications.

In the last 6 decades, Naef Spiele AG widened its range of products through collaboration with well-known designers such as Peer Clahsen, Verner Panton, Xavier de Clippeleir, Jo Niemeyer, and Yasuo Aizawa, among others.
