As a child, we've all been fascinated by "pretend play" at least once. One artist has seriously set out to make this experience even more fun. Swedish-born, New York-based designer Mans Swanberg founded a toy company called "Famous OTO" and spent a long time bringing his idea to life. The resulting product is a cardboard toy food truck named "OTO." While cardboard might sound cheap, Famous OTO is meticulous in its attention to detail, releasing high-quality products. Their first release is an ice cream truck, a type of truck you'd see on any American street. You can actually climb inside and experience what it's like to be the driver. Though made of cardboard, it's durable and free of harmful substances, ensuring children can play with it. One notable feature is the pop and exciting illustrations that cover the entire surface. Mans says, "I wanted to make something as full of illustrations as a picture book. I didn't want to skimp on the details." Another fun feature is the Famous OTO website, where users can design and print their own custom license plates and attach them to their trucks for customization. While the idea itself was simple, bringing it to fruition required extensive learning about manufacturing, materials, and toy safety regulations. However, through perseverance from himself and his team, he finally made it to release. Each truck costs $59, and in addition to the ice cream truck, a taco truck is also available. And good news for cat lovers: a small cat truck has now been added to the lineup, and you can see photos of users' beloved cats riding in them on the official website. More variations are planned for release. This article was translated and written with permission from (Source: http://famousoto.com/).
