Adoring the Retro Allure of Vintage Objects

Lincoln Logs, a cherished and enduring toy, were created by John Lloyd Wright in 1916. As the son of the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, John grew up surrounded by discussions of design, structure, and creative problem solving. These early influences played a major role in shaping his imagination. During his travels throughout the United States and abroad, he encountered traditional log cabin construction and became fascinated by the way simple wooden elements could be combined to form strong and lasting buildings. This fascination led him to experiment with ways to reproduce the same effect on a smaller and safer scale for children.
