(Mid Century) Modern Doll Houses

I always loved doll houses as a girl....but really, I still do.  In the 70's my first doll house was the classic Victorian wood style that you glued together.  My Mom and I spent hours and days putting it together and furnishing it.  I loved it so much.

These days I still get warm and fuzzy feelings when I see a doll house but if I ever purchased one it would be a mid-mod style.  Now that I'm preggers maybe I can justify it.  Hey, it's decor!  Right?

How cool are these designs?

An Ode to Hans Wegner

The brilliant Hans Wegner is the designer of one of my favorite chairs from the mid century - the Wishbone chair.  Designed in 1950 it is one of the most identifiable chairs of its time and remains effortlessly stunning and fluidly gorgeous even 60 years later.

Hans Wegner (1915-2007) trained as a cabinet maker before attending the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, where he later lectured from 1946-1953.  From 1938-1942, he worked as a furniture designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller's architectural firm.  In 1943 he set up his own office in Gentotte and collaborated with Borge Mogensen in the design of an apartment shown at the 1946 Cabinetmakers Exhibition in Copenhagen.  Throughout his long career, he has designed furniture extensively for Johannes Hansen and Fritz Hansen.  The Royal Society of Arts, London made him an Honorary Royal Designer for Industry in 1959.  Source: ScandinavianDesign.com
