Czech national treasure and world queen of toys. A world-renowned designer and innovator who created over 230 original toys, many of which were produced in many color variants. Well-known are her rubber figurines, accordion animals and inflatable toys. Her legendary work is represented in the collections of museums around the world, for example in collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, or in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.
