Verzuu, Jacobus Johannes Josephus (Ko) 1901-1971 NL.
ADO speelgoed / toys. Circa 1934-35
Two miniature club chairs and a side table (each piece with company labels and burnished markings)
Between 1925 and 1955 Dutch designer Ko Verzuu designed many toys under the influence of the Dutch Modernist De Stijl painters. His designs were inextricably bound up with innovations in art, health care and pedagogy in the first half of the 20th century. In 1920, the sanatorium Berg en Bosch was founded in the sanctuary on the outskirts of Apeldoorn – this sanatorium offered rest and care to tuberculosis patients. Once patients had recovered from their illness, returning to regular working life often proved to be difficult. In order to prepare patients better for their reintegration, the sanatorium developed a modern treatment: occupational therapy. One of the ways this took shape was in the production of wooden toys. These toys were given the name ADO; an abbreviation that initially stood for Arbeid door Onvolwaardigen (Labour by the Deficient), but was wisely changed in 1962 to Apart Doelmatig Onverwoestbaar (roughly translated as Special Functional Indestructible?)
