{"product_id":"9788026048275","title":"Libuse Niklov�","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis first monograph on one of Czechoslovakia's most important designers, Libuse Niklová (1934-1981), explores the rich and delightful world of her plastic toys, featuring nearly 500 color photographs and archival reproductions. Her whistling accordion-pleated Tomcat, and inflatable Buffalo and Elephant have been treasured possessions for several generations of children in Czechoslovakia, occupying a unique position in twentieth-century product design, and many of them are firmly established icons in the Czech design canon. This fun, accessible book gathers her oeuvre into three chapters: \"Plastic Playthings 1954-1964,\" \"Accordion and Vernian Toys 1963-1967\" and \"Inflatable Toys 1963-1981.\" Full-color reproductions of the toys are punctuated with quotes from Niklová and her colleagues, and with sketches and archival photographs. Also included are a biography and a booklet, inserted toward the rear, listing all of her works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Interactive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043313631472,"sku":"9788026048275","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788026048275_p0.jpg?v=1763722694","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788026048275","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
