Djeco toys and puzzles

Considered a trailblazer of her time, this mother wanted to create educational toys for children. The collection was hugely successful. And won four Oscars for toys in the 1960s. The family business was temporarily put to the side while Véronique raised her son Frédéric. But as Frederic grew, so did his passion for toys. Gifted with an artistic flair, in 1989 Frédéric decided to reawaken the family business and make the toy industry his personal playground. Travelling the corners of the Earth, hunting for inspiration, his desire was to bring toys to France that had never been seen before. Successful in his pursuit, Djeco took France into a toy era it had never experienced.
