Combining simple and minimal shapes to create something complex and expressive – this basic principle underlies many legendary designs. And it is precisely this principle that the traditional manufacturer Naef turns into a playfully inspiring experience with their games. This is also the case with Ponte, which consists of eight identically bridge-shaped elements. These can not only be interlocked to form a closed cuboid, but above all combined to create an amazing variety of shapes and figures.
This game also comes in a black and white version – see below.
The fascinating structures are possible thanks to the precise workmanship of the wooden building blocks. Naef toys are handcrafted in small numbers and undergo a level of care rarely found with other manufacturers when it comes to cutting and hand-sanding the wood, which comes from sustainable Central European timber farming. The exactness of the angles and planes allows us to experience the beauty of geometry in a satisfying way that we are denied with lesser quality materials and fabrications.
The sensual impression of a Naef game is also strongly contributed to by the carefully matched colors, which are applied in the form of premium lacquer. This is free of harmful substances so that Naef games are absolutely safe for children.
In addition to the company's founder Kurt Naef, the designs come from other well-known designers, primarily from the German-speaking and Japanese regions.
Naef, a traditional manufacturer based in Switzerland, has its construction games produced in a Bavarian craftsman's workshop. Here, quality takes precedence over quantity, which is why some games are only available about once a year and then quickly go out of stock. We try to keep as many games as possible in stock. You are welcome to reserve out-of-stock games and we will let you know as soon as a new edition is available.
The game comes in a nice white box and is therefore also perfect as a gift.
