2D Toy Cars from “Germany’s Smallest Car Factory”

Jesco von Puttkamer runs what he calls “Germany’s smallest car factory.” From his studio in Ober-Ingelheim, the sheet metal artist attempts to capture the essence of certain iconic European cars in two dimensions, but not by drawing:

The desk toys feature a spring mechanism, but are meant for adults only. “Sharp corners and edges, parts that come loose - no children’s toys!” writes von Puttkamer. “Not a toy for children.”

The cars run €45 to €50 (USD $52 to $58). Von Puttkamer’s also got a website of his non-automotive sculptures here.
