Our History

RB Kinetic Toys Inc. has been hand crafting toys for over seven years. The company began in 1993 when the award winning sculptor, cabinetmaker and teacher, Robert Braczyk, brought together his lifelong interest in toys, design, and mechanics to produce a line of "Circus Toys". While marketing these items through upscale stores and museum shops such as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of American Craft in New York, we developed a side line in custom-designed awards. It soon became apparent that our approach is unique in the awards, trophy and gift business. We are now, through the Internet, offering this service to a wider range of clients.

Because of our beginnings, many of these awards and gifts have expressed playful or humorous qualities (highly desirable things in many cases). However, with years of experience and know-how we can carry out almost any concept in a vast array of materials and styles. Our work has received notice in many newspapers including The New York Times and we have been featured on the cable network show, Magazine. In 1997, two pieces were acquired for their permanent collection by the Museum of the City of New York. Our toys reside in many private collections around the country and in Europe. RB Kinetic’s award and gift clients have ranged from large corporations to small sole proprietorships, and from circuses to medical service organizations. Throughout the years and many projects we have consistently pleased and surprised clients with our ingenious and beautiful solutions to their needs.
