Telleby - Toys to Play with and Toys to Enjoy
Debresk was originally founded by Joris Dekkers, Konrad Breidenstein and Anders Skanberg in 1987. After graduating from a Waldorf school in Sweden together, they later met and decided to make beautiful toys together.
The Debresk brand has now been acquired by Telleby workshops and the name will gradually change to Telleby Toys. The design and quality are the same, with all Telleby (formally Debresk) toys made at the Telleby social enterprise in Jarna, Sweden.
All Telleby wooden toys are made from sustainable European spruce and bear their trademark wood grain and soft sanded finish.

For a World Worth Taking Care of:
Toys need to be something you want to take care of, something to protect, and not damaged.
In relationship to the things a child plays with, they develop a relationship to the world.
By playing with living materials, materials that have life, materials that need taking care of, we can help our children to grow up with a world worth taking care of!
