The iconic "Seven" series chair, designed in 1955 by Arne Jacobsen and reproduced in miniature by Brio in the 1960s and 70s, has at last landed in my collection. It's only one, but it is a start. I purchased it on eBay for $30.
As I was taking photos of my new acquisition, I recalled a similar post by The Shopping Sherpa of her *many* Seven chairs. Drool.
Such a great chair, and now my Brio stool and desk has a friend!
In the category of recent acquisitions, I picked up a white Barcelona chair, which looks pretty styling.
Also, the crafts store Michaels has expanded its dollhouse offerings with Sparrow Miniatures. I picked up a few items such as a table, some decorative accents, plants, and a clipboard!

The time it took me: 15 minutes
I love the Arne Jacobsen chair! I picked up two myself while visiting Copenhagen three years ago. After doing the exchange rate on them, they each set me back about $30 as well. I wanted to get four, but yikes, that's pricey! Since they are 1:10 instead of my 1:12, I'm using them as kid chairs in the playroom. If only I could have been so lucky as a kid! I really ought to get a better picture, you can see them in the third picture: http://www.smallhousemodels.com/dollhouse-reno-part-1/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about the Michael's line. I think I heard Dollar Tree is expanding as well. More minis in more places is never a bad thing!
Well done! (And a great price, to boot). Tell you what: if I go slowly broke for lack of paid work I'll give you first bids on buying my Series Seven chairs.. :-)
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful. I especially like that Barcelona chair. I have not seen one like that!
ReplyDeleteMuy bonitas adquisiciones.
