Trendwatch: Dollhaus Movement Sweeps Basements Everywhere
"Just days before the Operation Dollhouse deadline, Fast Company's Co.Design reports on Brinca Dada, a New York-based manufacturer of modern dollhouses. Let's put it this way: LED lighting, cut-stone walls, solar panels—all the hallmarks of fine adult living, signs that one's made it, right? Not anymore, actually—now they're within reach of the toddler set. Aspirational parents can finally eschew Barbie's Dream House for a more modernist-inclined abode, complete with equally streamlined miniature furniture. Hey now, it's never too early to teach the youngsters about the De Stijl movement. And here's looking at you, Dwell: pressure's on."
