Pikler Triangle

The Pikler Triangle was designed by Dr Emmi Pikler nearly 100 years ago.
Pictured above is an original early prototype of the Pikler's Triangle, situated in the post-war orphanage, Lóczy. Dr Pikler and her team went on to work closely with craftspeople such as Martin Plackner (www.Spielzeugmacher.at) and Basis Gemeinde (www.basisgemeinde.de), honing the design features of the Pikler Triangle and other furniture and equipment designed by the Doctor.
In 2017 there was a noticeable surge of unauthorised "Pikler Triangles" hitting the market from many companies around the world. Yet only a small number are certified to use the Pikler registered trademark.
