New Classics: Vilac's Ride On Classic Vehicle
July 25, 2019
There are not a great deal of toys out there that parents enjoy watching left out in the center of the living area. However, the Ride On Classic Car is one they will probably continue screen long after their kids have outgrown it. The car is made in France by Vilac, a business which maufactures creative and aesthetically pleasing toys. It’s so beautifully designed that it has become a popular among architects, designers and photo stylists alike … and I almost forgot: The two- to 4-year-olds who really push themselves along onto it love it as well.

While this minimalist room is beautifully designed, it is the tiny toy car that draws the eye. This picture is a great lesson in photo styling and composition. Examine the car’s placement. It’s just past the corner of this area rug, close to the middle of this composition, and it makes us appreciate the inside of the room in addition to the view through the windows.

This is one of these rare items that has vintage charm but nevertheless has a contemporary sense. It fits into this contemporary urban home.
The car’s layout relies on racecars of the 1920s. The chair resembles classic caramel leather in the space, but it is made of sturdy plastic. The metal steering wheel is easy for little hands to maneuver.

The steel version seems to be the most popular — perhaps because there’s a good possibility the color will fit into almost any area the kids park the car in.
