Mader has been making spinning tops and wooden toys in Germany since 1923, and the craft behind them is as precise as you would expect from a century of practice. The tops are turned from solid wood and hand-painted in the rainbow stripes and bold colors that have become instantly recognizable, and they spin with a satisfying, almost hypnotic quality that is hard to put down. Beyond tops, Mader makes kaleidoscopes, yo-yos, jump ropes, and music boxes, all with the same attention to material and finish. This collection brings together Mader spinning tops and toys for children and adults who appreciate the simple pleasure of something made to spin.
