Bonsai Tree Houses by Takanori Aiba

Artist Takanori Aiba worked as a maze illustrator for Japanese fashion magazine POPYE since late 1970s. The following decade he worked as an architect and finally in 2003 decided to merge the two crafts—the design of physical space and the drawing of labyrinths—into these incredibly detailed tiny worlds. Using craft paper, plastic, plaster, acrylic resin, paint and other materials Aiba constructs sprawling miniature communities that wrap around bonsai trees, lighthouses, and amongst the cliffs of nearly vertical islands. More work from Aiba here

Mini chairs

As I was talking about miniature houses in my previous post.  I feel a need to post these photos for you. This Japanese company, REAC sells  mini versions of mid century modern chairs. These chairs are just so cute.

Modernist Dollhouses

Dollhouses have taken a modern turn. Now there are so many companies that produced modern miniatures. They look pretty realistically life size.
