Booth 78

Mario Calderón is a musician, toy collector and one of the most celebrated makers of handcrafted toys in Venezuela. For more than 30 years, he has been crafting magical toys from nothing more than wood, paint and an extremely active imagination. Born in Caracas, he studied music and medicine before falling headlong into his greatest passion — toys and the deep emotions from childhood they can stir.
