Djeco Cubic Dollhouse Furniture: A First Look


Do you Djeco? 

I was excited to see a new Cubic dollhouse and furniture from Djeco, a veteran Paris-based toy company founded in 1954. I just got my package all the way from Milk Tooth in Australia and had some fun unpacking.



Nice touch!


All arrived intact and in delectable boxes just waiting to be opened. I could tell right away that the quality was going to be high.





The pieces are between 1:16 and 1:18 in scale and are made of wood and plastic. The colors are great and the furniture is stylishly modern. I only bought the dining and bedroom sets -- there are other rooms, but I had to shut my wallet at some point. ;)







All in all, the pieces are very well made and sturdy. The one exception was the bedding, which was not as perfect as it could have been (the pictures show the messy underside). Also, I would have preferred to lose the candles in the dining set. I love the blue bowl, but it would have been good to see plates, glasses, or even a plant.

I'm very excited to set up the Cubic house, but that will have to wait until I can steal some time away to put it all together and play.

If you have some Djeco too, do share!

  4. Nice to know the quality is good. I didn't realize there was any wood, I guessed just plastic. I might have to pick some up. :)
    Can't wait to see the house assembled. Happy summer!

  5. Random question for you: I am in love with a Djeco dining set but everything else I have in my dollhouse is 1:12 scale. Do you mix in your inch scale pieces with the Djeco and if so, does it look odd? I am having a really hard time trying to visualize the size difference without having the pieces in my hands. Thanks!

    1. It can definitely work, but smaller inch scale pieces will be ideal. The chairs especially might be dwarfed by inch-scale tables. But worth a shot!
