Dollhouse Redux

Dollhouses have come and gone in many shapes and sizes - but most of them have been stuck in the last century or even before that.  The most popular styles were Victorian, Colonial or Classical.  The modern era has sadly been largely ignored.  Until now.

Modernistas and Minimalistas - rejoice!   Danish design house, Minimii, has recreated a very modern and minimal dollhouse that is a replica of the villa of famed designer, Arne Jacobsen.  The 1928 villa - stark white, spacious, and minimalist - is reproduced at 1:16 scale and ready to be furnished with matching modern furniture like Jacobsen's Egg chair.

Its sprawling interior and minimalist white color make it friendly to many different design ideas and only limited to a child's imagination.  For more information take a look at the Minimii site.
