What Piccalio does

Piccalio is a part toy, part furniture shop for children with a focus on wooden pieces designed for their imagination and your living space. Our open-ended toys and furniture help the play emerge from within the child, while natural materials and thoughtful design nourish the senses, nurture the development of the body and mind. Our inspirations draw from the wisdom of age old cultures, from the Steiner (Waldorf) educational philosophy as well as from contemporary research on play by Maria Montessori, among others.
