Chico Bicalho
RISD ’85 [Sculpture]
The metal wind-up toys Chico Bicalho designs for Kikkerland are notable for their humor and straightforward design. Initially crafting each Critter by hand, he sold them to the Guggenheim Museum shop and other stores while living in New York City pursuing photography. Bicalho credits his in-between years as a construction worker with much of his skill in “putting things together,” which came in handy as he expanded his line of wind-ups and assisted another Kikkerland designer, David Dear [RISD ’85, Industrial Design], with manufacturing. Now living in his native Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Bicalho continues to design toys while pursuing his passion: reforestation projects in the Brazilian rainforest. Publications including Interview, I.D., Publishers Weekly and the Taipei Times have praised his creations for their universal appeal.
