Country / Region:

Phosphene is a thoughtfully designed toy car collection, crafted to bridge the sensory gap for those with visual impairments while offering universal appeal. Each car in the collection is a tactile representation of a color, embodied through unique shapes and textures. Made from eco-friendly recycled plastic, these cars are solid, polished, and simple in structure, yet rich in sensory experience. The use of ball bearings and rubber tires, coupled with titanium alloy M3 screws, ensures smooth motion and durability. What sets Phosphene apart is its inclusive design philosophy. It allows users of all abilities to explore and appreciate the nuances of color through touch, fostering a deeper understanding and connection. The cars also encourage creative engagement, with their assembly and customizable features sparking imagination and interaction. Phosphene is a testament to inclusive, empathetic design, redefining the boundaries of sensory perception and play.
