These wooden toys by Norwegian designer Olav Øen have a happy Scandinavian vibe: a little Bojesen in that bear, a little PlaySam in that car, a little IKEA in those stacky things, a little superbright color to compensate for living in freezing darkness six months of the year.
As an added bonus, when you quote the prices in Norwegian Kronar, they sound awesomely expensive, when in fact, they only cost about 2,000-4,000 cents.

The wooden train is NOT designed by Mr Olav Øen.
It is designed by Rokus van Blokland and Corry van Blokland Mobach, toy-designers in Nederland. It was produced by SIO (Speelgoed Industrie Overijssel).
The train on the photo was -illegally- produced by the Støa leketøyfabrikk and sold in husfliden shops.
