Norbert Verneuer of Billerbeck, Germany, founded his toymaking workshop in 1988 based on the belief that "Good wooden toys should not be a disposable item!"

High quality toys should trigger a child’s curiosity so that she would explore the toy’s shape, colour, surface, function etc. She would then reenactment situations from her daily life, but infused with wild imagination. Toys that offer a child the space to create can be a companion for a long time.
