PLAYFOREVER

In the 70s, Italian designers dreamt up radical concept cars – wedges on wheels, all angles and edges, with roofs dropped to windowsill level. Their influence reached sci-fi movies, fighter jets and speed boats. UFO is Playforever's celebration of dreaming big and radical change. Leonessa comes in blue, hand-polished with a high gloss UV coating.

Block your ears, Zemonsta is firing up. Inspired by the iconic Porsche 917, Playforever set out to abstract the beast of beasts. Hans comes in deep metallic blue with a cool, steely presence. Zemonsta is hungry – move out of the way or be devoured.

An American muscle car, make it bigger, faster, stronger. Detroit carmakers saw what the hot rodders were doing in the late 60's and started bringing these ideas to the workingman. Steal a few ideas from Italian supercars and the muscle car was born. Popular culture stole it back and has never let it go, badass rebellion and freedom. We can't think of a type of car that gets customised more as people express their inner rebel.

Leadbelly is our homage to the muscle car, brutally simple, minimalist lines, lowered over some of the fattest tires we have ever made. Leadbelly sits in the Verve range, and just like a muscle car is built to be tough and last a lifetime with a beautiful shine. Watch this space, there could be more...

From Wedges to Mary Janes; vivid colour blocking to bright two tones, just like the rest of our Midi range, Bonnie's design is inspired by the bold colour and shape of 1960s fashion and footwear coupled with early Formula One racing cars. Originally designed in wood (and maintaining its simple form when remodeled into plastic), the beauty of Bonnie lies in its simplicity: a pure shape on wheels, with the addition of bold graphics to bring it to life.

Cool, hip and eye-catching, Bonnie is a true showstopper that will look stunning on the shelf, mantelpiece or racing around on the living room floor! A Playforever classic, to be treasured for generations.

The very first vehicle in our collection, Bruno is a Playforever original. Born from a childhood fascination with tin cars and inspired by the beauty of classic cigar racers, founder Julian Meagher set out to create a debut piece that not only looked classic and stunning, but that was beautifully made from the very best materials available. Months of researching production methods to attain the glossiest surfaces possible; 5mm thick wall sections that had never been achieved before and that produced a solid sound, resonating when tapped; genuine rubber tyres as opposed to cheap skin versions. Honest materials that spelled quality, celebrating plastic as a truly exceptional material.

It was following an initial meeting with Nicky King at Habitat in 2004 that Julian's dream finally became a reality - the very first Bruno racing cars came off the production line, and began to grace the homes and playrooms of customers young and old, all over Europe.

The story of Bruno is a labour of love, beginning with a passion and a dream, and ending with a lifelong heirloom toy to be passed on, played with and remembered for generations.

1960s glamour and footwear fashion is the inspiration behind Buck, the third addition to our Midi collection. Beginning as a shoe wedge and ending as toy racing car, Buck has a strikingly simple body shape that was originally designed in wood (maintaining its simple form when remodeled into plastic). Just like the rest of our Midi range, the beauty of Buck lies in its simplicity: a pure shape on wheels, with the addition of bold graphics to bring it to life.

Reminiscent of the early racing cars of the 20s and 30s, yet with a definite nod to the fashion era of the 60s, Buck will bring a touch of glamour to your toy box or shelf. A Playforever classic, to be treasured for generations.

Embracing the era of 1950s rockabilly chic, Clyde is modern twist on the classic hot rod American cars. Rolled up capris and bright Mary Janes; halter necks and hair scarves in top knots, just like the rest of our Midi collection, Clyde's design takes inspiration from bold, iconic fashion of days gone by. Originally created in wood (and maintaining its simple form when remodeled into plastic), the beauty of Clyde lies in its simplicity: a pure shape on wheels, with the addition of bold graphics to bring it to life.

Cool, hip and totally rock'n'roll, our stunning Clyde racing car is real head-turner, much like the hot rod cars upon which it is modelled. A Playforever classic, to be treasured for generations.

Straight out of 1960s New York, our Maverick Heat vehicles are a bold representation of the famous ‘slab-sided’ vehicles of the era. Racing
through busy streets, lights flashing and sirens screaming; with distinctive flat sides and super large surface areas, this was a time for boldness and confidence in design.

A hip, cool, statement piece that takes us back to the days of cop shows and the streets of New York, Maverick Heat is a toy to be treasured by all ages.

Ken is the spirit of a man caught up in the beautiful and chaotic 1960's 24 hour endurance racing that eventually claimed his life. At Playforever we wanted to pay homage to the mountain of courage and heart, Ken Miles.

We are excited to introduce Loretino Marino racing car - a cute and playful scaled-down version of its big brother (and the very first car in the Playforever collection), Bruno.

In bright and vibrant red with contrasting black rubber tyres, Loretino Marino is living proof that size is not everything. Lightweight and easy to hold, yet built to last, just like all Playforever products it is beautifully designed andbuilt to last a lifetime.

A classic heirloom treasure that can be passed on and played with for generations.

Luft was inspired by a very chic 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa that Playforever's founder Julian Meagher owned while living in Florence, Italy for 2 years. This car in a beautiful shade of ivory was perfect for buzzing around the hills of Tuscany and most certainly made every school run an absolute pleasure.

Introducing Rufus, the coolest canine-driven racing car we have ever seen!

The Rufus collection is designed and made by Playforever, following their recent collaboration with Hugo Boss. A streamlined shape with a geometric front and pointed 'ridge' on the bonnet top, smoothing out to a rounded form at the back, this car means business - and SPEED! I mean, those dogs' ears say it all.

Just like all Playforever products, Rufus is not only beautifully designed, it is built using the finest quality materials to last a lifetime.

Mini Speedy is a toy car in its simplest, most organic form. Taking its smooth, curved shape - a shape that conveys movement and fluidity even when parked on the shelf - we have split it into smaller segments that help to define and showcase further its organic lines, playing with colour and form in a brand new way.

The result is an object of beauty that is not only harmonious to the eye, but a joy to play with (and being slightly smaller than our Midi and Classic collections, little hands can easily hold it too). Reminiscent of the classic Lemans racing cars of the 1930s, our Mini Speedy car is a true design classic, to be cherished by all ages for generations to come.

Formula 1 in the 80's was all about turbocharging to get more speed. Downforce was your only friend getting you around those fast corners alive. Unapologetic clashing colours, box wings, massive air ducts and extremely bold graphics sliced through what came before. All this brash confidence was a tangible force driving aesthetics and pushing boundaries. Turbo captures the spirit and magic of the most infectious decade ever.

From the 60's we have Malibu, from the 70's comes our best-selling Velocita and now we are over excited to offer our most captivating yet, our 80's Turbo!

Speeding through the hills of Tuscany, warm breeze on the open roads lined with lush vineyards and silver olive groves, our Viglietta racing car personifies freedom and liberty: memories of carefree summer days and wild abandonment. Just like Malibu, Viglietta is slightly smaller than the rest of our collection, but every bit as eye-catching.

With a smooth, curved shape and sleek Italian styling, Viglietta is so much more than just a toy car, it is an object of beauty that can make memories; memories to be shared for generations to come.

Block your ears, Zemonsta is firing up and even when idling one's skin begins to crawl. Another formidable and fierce track eater has arrived and we think Ken could be a little nervous (we're shaking too). Gorging on chunks of inspiration from the iconic Porsche 917 we at Playforever set out to abstract the beast of beasts. In fact, with all the Zemonsta untamed fury, we'll probably need to unload some extra rows of Sunray tires for test day. Zemonsta is hungry, move out of the way or be devoured.

Vince from Playforever is both mysterious and cool.

All black with hints of gold, he has soft rubber tyres to ensure he will start the race smoothly and quickly. Designed in the UK and made from heavy duty plastic, Playforever cars are solidly contructed in chic nostalgic styles and look just as good on the shelf as they do at play.
