Toy Fair Find: Contemporary, well designed dollhouses by brinca dada

Today, at the 2011 International Toy Fair I came across these beautiful dollhouses, and met their creators.  They houses are quite remarkable in person.  They not only look great, but they open up so children (or adults) can play with them.  The interiors are nicely furnished with modern, sleek looking pieces.

On their site they say they wanted to produce a product that combined their passions for architecture and toys.  They also say something that makes a lot of sense to me:  "We are a team of people who believe that toys don't have to be noisy or flashy to be exciting.  But toys shouldn't be marked "For Display Only" either.  Toys should be beautiful and fun."

You can see more on their website: brinca dada.

  5. Whoa! Hey Tom, thanks for these. I had been dying to see the Bennett "outside the CAD". I also understood that they had a collapsible house prototype on display, but only a few people have mentioned. Great photos! Thank you for your time!
