DOLLSVILLA
IN MUSEUM
The original, handmade DollsVilla by
Liliane® from 1997/1998, a design by
Liliane Limpens, becomes part of the
permanent museum collection of the
fairy-tale Museum Children's World [1969] in
Roden, near Groningen in the north of
the Netherlands. The museum has an
impressive collection of old dolls and
bears. Children can actively play [together]
in the museum café with a second one, a
new DollsVilla from the 2019 production
series.
Museum
curator Mara Bosboom: "This way the
children can see the
development of a prototype into its
final market shape."
In 1969 the Dutch Museum Children's
World Foundation in Roden was founded by
the Association for Tourist Traffic and
the Association of Folk Entertainment.
At the same time, in this year an appeal
was made via the ANP to the Dutch
population to look at toys from the past
in the attic. This call was met with
mass response and it was the start of a
unique collection. Two foundations
currently manage the Children's World
Toy Museum: Dutch Museum Children's
World Foundation and Foundation for
preserving the Museum Children's World
Collection.
Children's World Museum offers guided
tours, a senior package, a package for children's parties and school trips.
Teaching material will soon be available, which will enable primary schools
to achieve official learning objectives.

UNDUETRESTELLA
DESIGN WEEK 2019
Paola Noé: “I think that Unduetrestella had
the honour to present for the first time
some design products that can be considered
as “masterpieces” of contemporary design for
kids. I’m totally fascinated by the three:
Max in the BOX by Perlude and the furniture
by EcoBirdy or the DollsVilla by Liliane®.”
Paola Noé has been an art critic, a curator
and has worked in the editorial office of
the prestigious “Flash Art” magazine. In
2008 she started to run Unduetrestella, a
special contemporary art project for
children. Today, the children’s universe is
her hobbyhorse. She looks for the most
interesting phenomena for kids – from art
and design to vintage objects and even food
and then exhibits them during the most
important and unmissable international
design sector event, a showcase for
creativity, innovation and quality: Milano
Design Week - by Aleksandra Leszcyńska.
The DollsVilla by Liliane®
light
will make her introduction in Milan at the
International Design Week 2019, the
Salone Internazionale del Mobile.
Press release:
Like every unduetrestella DESIGN WEEK
edition, Liliane Limpens, the designer of
DollsVilla by Liliane (NL), who creates two
innovative models of a dollshouse on wheels,
made of sustainable materials, full of every
comfort, even the car ramp, like real toy
furniture full of accessories.
On the occasion of the
500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci the
theme of 2019 will be Leonardo the designer, even for the little ones: no one before him had
demonstrated an imagination so close to the
mind of a true contemporary designer, and
very similar to the creative desires of a
child. To remember the childish components
of his vision.

Al Via la design week: ecco tutte le mete
perfette per la famiglia
LA DESIGN WEEK
FORMATO FAMIGLIA
Milano durante la Design Week diventa un
vero e proprio concentrato di creatività e
colore, un grande palcoscenico dove arte,
design e performance si incontrano. Tutto
questo da domani fino al 14 aprile, giorni
in cui la città ospita il meglio del design
internazionale con il Salone del Mobile e il
Fuori Salone: un’occasione unica non solo
per gli addetti ai lavori, ma anche per
tutta la famiglia, grazie a un calendario
fittissimo di mostre, installazioni,
percorsi ed eventi capaci di accendere la
curiosità e l’immaginazione in grandi e
bambini.
Alla Fabbrica del Vapore Unduetrestella
Design Week celebra Leonardo da Vinci
Diventata punto di riferimento per il design
dedicato all’infanzia Paola Noé quest’anno
ci stupisce con un progetto tutto legato al
500° anniversario di Leonardo da Vinci, un
percorso che risponde perfettamente al
claim Hallo Leo! Artista, pittore,
matematico, scienziato, Leonardo è infatti
considerato il più grande genio di tutti i
tempi e a questa multiforme creatività unduetrestella
DESIGN WEEK ha dedicato la sua
bellissima esposizione, nel grande Spazio
Messina 2 all’interno della Fabbrica del
Vapore.
“Ma ci piace pensare a Leonardo come il
primo designer della storia, capace di
coniugare creatività e funzionalità,
bellezza e risoluzione pratica dei problemi,
desiderio di superare i limiti e capacità di
rimanere con i piedi per terra. Anche dopo
aver volato. Leonardo ha costruito anche
macchine terribili di guerra, eppure i suoi
modellini oggi assomigliano a giocattoli, i
suoi studi sulle ali e sugli animali hanno
la poesia di un’illustrazione per bambini“.
E sulla scorta di questo pensiero, Paola Noé
ha realizzato un percorso tra estetica e
funzionalità, con più di 40 brand e pezzi di
design provenienti da tutto il mondo.
"We must learn to be protectors of
nature and appreciate everything that it provides us. It is
important for young children to be around natural materials, to be
able to touch, feel, smell and interact with their unblemished
nature."
"I am passionate about introducing children to the wonders of
wood through play as this interaction contributes to an awareness of
sustainability at a young age. Children are capable of developing a
real connection with the products of this earth and we need to
encourage that as much as possible for our Planet to thrive."
The DollsVilla by Liliane is a sustainable dolls house, built at a
child's height. Made of FSC birch plywood, beech and stainless
steel. FSC standards have been developed to protect the forests'
biodiversity and ecological processes.
Made With Respect has been created with a purpose: All
the brands fall within our 4 pillars and align with one or more of the
following values. MWR is a positive movement, where buying conscious brands
is the norm. For a sustainable future for our people on our planet.

BARBIE IN WHEELCHAIR & WITH PROTHESIS
There are new Barbie dolls with a disability, namely a
Barbie in a wheelchair and one with a prosthetic leg. According to the
Barbie makers, children with disabilities feel so more accepted.
The American Jordan
Reeves of 13 was allowed to think about the dolls. Jordan was born
without forearm and was sorry that there were no dolls that looked like
her. The company decided to do something about it. "So proud that I was
allowed to cooperate!", writes Jordan on Facebook

BLOWN AWAY
WITH THE QUALITY
"I picked up the DollsVilla today and just finished
assembling it. It has exceeded my
expectations! It was exactly what I was
looking for. I am blown away with the
quality and craftsmanship and I am extremely
pleased!
Thank you so much for bringing back
the Light model of the DollsVilla by Liliane® and allowing me to purchase
it. I knew that this would be what I wanted,
and it has already proven to be more than I
could have hoped for! It's awesome! Thanks
again for making such a great house!

DOLL HOUSE
MANIA: TUTTI PAZZI PER LE
MINIATURE
DOLL HOUSE
MANIA: ALL CRAZY FOR THE
MINIATURES
"[...] Mentre pensa in grande Liliane che
propone una villa su ruote, perfetta per
farci giocare bambole e bambolotti."
"[...] While thinking in large Liliane proposing a villa
on wheels, perfect for dolls and dolls play."
Liliane
Dollsvilla per bambole (e bambolotti) su
ruole (da UnduetrestellaSTORE, prezzo su
richiesta).
Vi siete mai chiesti perché la doll house
piacciono tanto ai bambini (ma non solo)? La
risposta sta nel loro potere immaginifico e
nelle tante storie che tra quelle piccole
pareti prendono vita, portandoci altrove per
un po’, dentro mondi incantati, per vivere
ogni giorno nuove avventure.
Have you ever wondered why children [and not
only they] love the dollhouse? The answer
lies in their imaginative power and in the
many stories that come to life between those
small walls, taking us elsewhere for a while,
into enchanted worlds, to experience new
adventures every day.
Avete presente, ad esempio, la bellissima
Stettheimer Doll House dell’artista Carrie
Stettheimer, che si trova presso il Museum
of the City of New York? Realizzata tra il
1916 e il 1935, questa casa di bambole
rappresenta da sola un vero scrigno di
storie. E non solo perché si trova in un
museo e ogni giorno è attraversata dallo
sguardo e dalla memoria di migliaia di
visitatori, ma anche perché nelle sue stanze
si trovano opere d’arte in miniatura, create
appositamente da alcuni famosi artisti del
tempo amici di Carrie. Ad esempio Marcel
Duchamp e Alexander Archipenko, tanto per
citarne due. Se vi capita di visitare quel
museo, fermatevi a guardarla bene, perché
tra mobili e pareti c’è una bella parte
della storia dell’artista. Carrie, infatti,
era la sorella di Florine Stettheimer,
pittrice eccentrica nella New York di inizio
secolo, abituata ad ospitare in casa i
personaggi più importanti della cultura del
Novecento americano. Ed ecco la magia di
questa doll house, che rappresenta un vero
tesoro non solo per i bambini, ma anche per
qualsiasi adulto che abbia, almeno una
volta, sognato di vivere a New York, proprio
nel momento in cui questa metropoli
conquistava il titolo di capitale del secolo.
Have you seen, for example, the beautiful
Stettheimer Doll House by artist Carrie
Stettheimer, located at the Museum of the
City of New York? Built between 1916 and
1935, this dollhouse is a true treasure
trove of stories. And not only because it is
located in a museum and every day is crossed
by the look and memory of thousands of
visitors, but also because in its rooms are
miniature works of art, created specifically
by some famous artists of the time friends
of Carrie. For example, Marcel Duchamp and
Alexander Archipenko, just to name two. If
you happen to visit that museum, stop and
look at it carefully, because there is a
good part of the artist's history between
furniture and walls. Carrie, in fact, was
the sister of Florine Stettheimer, eccentric
painter in New York at the beginning of the
century, accustomed to hosting at home the
most important figures of the twentieth
century American culture. And here is the
magic of this doll house, which is a real
treasure not only for children, but also for
any adult who has, at least once, dreamed of
living in New York, just when this
metropolis conquered the title of capital of
the century.
Purtroppo con la Casa di bambole della
Stettheimer non si può giocare, ma nessuna
paura perché oggi il design si è sbizzarrito
e ha dato vita a una nutrita serie di doll
house davvero creative… con dettagli così
minuziosi che viene subito voglia di aprire
la porta ed entrarci. Sedersi a tavola e
versarsi una tazza di tè. Come ad esempio la
Mini Home o la Big Mini Home disegnata da
Eero Aarnio per il brand finlandese Tactic:
un set con mobilini e pezzi d’artista (lo
riconoscete Puppy, sempre di Eero Aarnio?).
Oppure le modernissime villas Miniko, delle
vere e proprie case in miniatura, in
materiali pregiati e rifinite a mano del
marchio polacco Minjio (in Italia le trovate
da UnduetrestellaSTORE). La maison francese
Encore! punta su componibili da arredare
come stanze molto romantiche, abitate da
tanti coniglietti in stoffa, mentre pensa in
grande Liliane che propone una villa su
ruote, perfetta per farci giocare bambole e
bambolotti. Se siete di quelli con la testa
sempre tra le nuvole, la vostra casa
perfetta è la cloud-house di Rock & Pebble,
mentre gli amanti del classico stile Liberty
potranno trovare ospitalità in una delle
deliziose Sylvanian Family.
Unfortunately with the Stettheimer doll's
house you can not play, but no fear because
today the design has gone wild and gave
birth to a large series of really creative
doll houses ... with such meticulous details
that you immediately want to open the door
and go in there. Sit at the table and pour a
cup of tea. Such as the Mini Home or the Big
Mini Home designed by Eero Aarnio for the
Finnish brand Tactic: a set with pieces of
furniture and artist's pieces (do you
recognize Puppy, also by Eero Aarnio?). Or
the modern Miniko villas, real miniature
houses, made of fine materials and hand
finished by the Polish brand Minjio (in
Italy you can find them from
UnduetrestellaSTORE). The French fashion
house Encore! tip on modular to be furnished
as very romantic rooms, inhabited by many
bunnies in fabric, while thinking in large
Liliane that offers a villa on wheels,
perfect for us to play dolls and dolls. If
you are one of those with your head always
in the clouds, your perfect home is the Rock
& Pebble cloud-house, while lovers of the
classic Art Nouveau style will find
hospitality in one of the delightful
Sylvanian Family.
E se volete leggervi anche un buon libro, lo trovate (ma dovete
costruirvelo da soli) ne La mia piccola
libreria (Rizzoli)… iperdibile! E voi, in
quale storia vorreste entrare?
And if you want to read a good book, you can find it (but you have to
build it yourself) in My little bookstore (Rizzoli)
... iperdibile! And you, in which story
would you like to enter?

Milan:
"Siamo felici di vedere ancora una volta le
due varianti di dollvillas di DollsVilla by
Liliane.
Ci conosciamo da tanti anni. Non ho mai
visto una casa di bambole così "giocata" da
bambine e bambini. In ogni nostra
esposizione era il catalizzatore dei
bambini.
Non è soltanto una casa delle bambole. È una
risposta intelligente per essere bambini e
giocare!
Grazie Style Piccoli, grazie Oriana Picceni,
come sempre."
"We are happy to see once again the two
dollvillas of DollsVilla by Liliane.
We've known each other for many years. I
have never seen a doll house so "played" by
little girls and children. In all our
expositions it was the catalyst for children.
It is not just a dollhouse. It's an
intelligent answer to be children and ply!".

Doll houses
but also mini-kitchens are part of the
so-called imitation play. They give children
the opportunity to repeat gestures and
situations that they have seen in the adult

movement skills and their perception of
reality, the awareness and the expression of
their own emotions. The play makes children
aware of their own inner world and of the

THE DOLLSVILLA BY LILIANE FOR BOTH
GIRLS AND BOYS
Kristine Mc Veigh:
"Home interiors is not just
something adults love but children too !
Which little girl didn’t dream of a doll’s
house pretending to be in charge of her own
home? Most of us have this traditional
conception of a Barbie’s kind of doll’s
house just for girls but today we all know
that little boys are also interested in
interiors and grow up designing their homes
with just as much passion as women. The
DollsVilla by Liliane is a modern and more
complete version of a doll’s house intended
for both girls and boys thus stimulating
group play, social-emotional and language
development."
"The DollsVilla is indeed an impressive
doll’s house by its size and design! It
comes with a complete design interior and
can contain 30 cm dolls and 1:6 cars with
even a car or horse ramp. It is made out of
birch plywood (double transparent varnish),
solid beech wood, stainless steel and
plexiglass."
"The villa is made in two different versions,
the leading and the light version which both
have metal wheels with double-brake systems
so you can move it easily to any part of
the house. The villa is sturdy, mobile and
made of sustainable design materials."
"The designer Liliane Limpens motivation
stems from a desire to give children their
own dream haven and to play with their most
cherished dolls – their own children!
Liliane also tells us that when she was
little and played with her dolls she would
dream of the wonderful life she would lead
in the future – The DollsVilla is so close
to real houses with so much attention paid
to details that any child will dream!"
"The DollsVilla Global BV started in 1999
and finds her way to high end department
stores and hotels, to child care centres,
schools, child psychiatrists and
psychologists and is donated to a number of
one hundred Dutch asylum centers, woman
shelters and foster care parents."
"The designer Liliane Limpens was previously
editor-in-chief of the Dutch arts magazine
Harlekijn, head of the Dutch library and
documentation centre for arts education and
founder/member of the board of child care
facility for gravely ill children at the
Maastricht Academic Hospital."
"DollsVilla Global BV is participant of the
Dutch economic mission to Australia
(Melbourne and Sydney) and New Zealand (Aukland
and Christchurch), from October 28 till
November 10, 2016."

IN LOVE WITH THE DOLLS VILLA
"The villa is a big success!!
Our daughter was given it for her 3rd birthday. At her birthday party I
think every mom asked me about the villa. We are also now the favourite
house for play dates as all the girls want to come over and play with
the DollsVilla by Liliane®.
The villa is an amazing dolls
house and we are very happy with it. Our daughter can play with it for
hours [meaning I can get some work done]. We were also very impressed
with the quality [when we were assembling it]. It was a whole evening's
work, but fun and impressive.
I think the villas should be
seen as much as possible. As I said all the moms who have seen it, love
it. Stores could have the villa with a clear advertisement of what it
is.
I know that I often go to a
well-known quality shop in Amsterdam-south for children's clothes. Liz
plays with the DollsVilla by Liliane® there so I can take my time and look around.
She doesn't want to leave the store because she wants to play longer.
I therefore spend more time in
the shop and eventually buy something I wasn't planning to just because
my child was happily playing and I had the time to look around. You
benefit because I - like other people - fall in love with the DollsVilla by Liliane®. But having said this, the villa is an upper segment product, so
its budget is for a select group of clientele.
Thank you again for the good
service and fantastic product. I think this DollsVilla by Liliane® will stay with
us for many many years, if not generations."

Create The Perfect Mood With Accent Colors
THESE COLOR CHOICES ALSO INVITING KIDS
TO COME PLAY
One of the easiest ways to liven up your home is with accent colors and matching
accent decorations. Accent colors are used to help give a room a pop, to blend
the color scheme together, and most importantly, to decide the mood of the
entire room.
Using accent
colors is about two things: choosing a mood
that you want to provoke and choosing where
you want the attention of your guests to be
drawn to.
In the above
picture, the homeowners chose red and pink
to give the room a playful and energetic
vibe by picking two pink and red decorative
toys. These color choices enhance the clean
strong lines of the room while also inviting
kids to come play. This type of subtle
invitation can be done with small accent
items such as picture frames and pillows.
A doll house like no other,
the child-size DollsVilla by Liliane® has been designed
by Dutch interior designer Liliane Limpens
to give children a place to get completely
lost in thought and play. More than just a
striking play item for the home though, it’s
proving invaluable in hotels, child care
centres, child psychology clinics and even
emergency shelters.
The DollsVilla by Liliane® has a stylish interior to rival any
real designer home, exposed shelving for
easy play and, believe it or not, a car
ramp. It comes equipped with furniture to
fit 30-centimetre-high dolls like
Barbie and
is available in two sizes – one for two and
three-year-olds and one for ages four to six.
The house is made from birch plywood, solid
beech wood, stainless steel and plexiglass.
Liliane’s intention with the use of wood was
to help children develop a connection with
the earth, and an early understanding of
sustainability as a concept. She used transparent
varnish to ensure the house’s natural
colouring is a calming addition to any room.
Other than for play, Liliane sees the
DollsVilla by Liliane® as a chance for parents to learn about
their children’s development as they watch
them move about and make up stories based
around the dolls and the house.
Her desire
was to give children their own dream haven
but she had special intentions for public
places too. Used in a hotel lobby, it allows
children to play and communicate, regardless
of what language they speak. In child care
centres it encourages group play and in
psychology clinics, it can be (and has been)
used to facilitate contact with children,
make diagnoses and even as a form of
treatment.
Perhaps its most important use
though, is in emergency shelters where it
contributes to a warmer living atmosphere
for disadvantaged children.
To purchase the
remarkable DollsVilla by Liliane® outside of Europe,
you need to visit the
DollsVilla by Liliane® Webshop
and email your request directly to the
company. The large house costs €1614 (including
furniture and linen) and the small one costs
€898. Full house specifications are also
available via the link.

The
DollsVilla by Liliane® is far more than a
simple dollhouse; it has been designed by Dutch
designer Liliane Limpens for dolls that are one
foot tall, making this house unique in its
genre. Liliane created this doll house because
there wasn’t a sustainable home for the size of
dolls children prefer to play with.
So
this one-of-a-kind house on wheels, equipped
with furnishings and a car ramp, made from
sturdy materials, such as birch plywood, beach
wood and stainless steel, come up at
child-height.
“Playing with the Villa is playing with wood, I
think it is important for children to play with
naturals materials”.
The measure and endurance give the relationship
between adult and child a kind of equivalence,
considered relevant for kid’s growth.
The distinctive open design of the Villa
encourages interaction and free play, that’s why
Liliane thought that, apart from a family use,
it could work into day care centers or primary
schools.
It
is a mission, she explained, to incite “female
entrepreneurs to consider developing physical
products, and not just think about providing a
service.”
Putting down roots on ethical values this Villa
will make children feeling real owners of their
space.
kid’s wear,
established in 1995, is a magazine for children's fashion, lifestyle and culture

THE MOST STYLISH DOLLS HOUSE BY
LILIANE
"This is not a normal dollhouse… no it’s a villa
and we absolutely love it."
After the exciting
presentation of the DollsVilla by Liliane® at
the prestigious Kids Design fair at Superstudio
Milan the Dolls House arrived back home in the
Netherlands. During De Kleine Fabriek the villa
was showed to the Dutch audience for the first
time.
The
DollsVilla by Liliane® is much more than a normal dollhouse.
The Villa is specially designed for dolls that
are one foot tall. Children prefer dolls this
size, just like Barbie and other 30-centimetres
tall stuffed animals and toys. Because there
wasn't a sustainable home for these size dolls,
power women Liliane Limpens decided to create
this Villa.
The
Villa also comes with a message. If the
dolls, which your children see as their own
children, live in a strong and safe house than
the 'parents' [your kids] will also sleep more
sound. In the Villa it's the kids who decide
everything when it comes to values, standards,
perspective and freedoms. The villa encourages
the play by touching the children's creativity
and fantasy whilst practicing their social
manners.
The Villa is
child-height and made from sturdy, quality
materials such as birch plywood, solid beech
wood and stainless steel. The open design
encourages interaction and free play for up to 6
children at the same time. The house comes in
two models, each complete with designer
furniture including a car ramp, beds, storage
drawers and kitchen and bathroom appliances.
The Villa is
already a much-loved item at day care centers
and primary schools across Europe and the Villa
is used by universities who research how play
therapists, child psychiatrists and
psychologists can use the Villa to help children
who suffer from trauma.

The Dutch designer Liliane Limpens - a former editor of a magazine of
art - created the DollsVilla by Liliane®, "a home for the children of the children",
motivated by giving them a dream haven. "It had to be top quality, that it is
an exclusive, private domain, just for your favorite dolls, which has its own
rules and freedom", explains and adds that the dolls and stuffed animals play an
important role in children's learning about attachment and trust.
The DollsVilla’s (www.liliane.eu) measured 1.20 m high, are made from birch

propias normas y libertades”, explica y agrega que las muñecas y peluches
cumplen un papel importante en el aprendizaje de los niños en el apego y la
confianza.

Among the world's
dolls houses
DOLLS VILLA IS THE BENTLEY
Guido Tielman, Dutch
consul-general in the economically expanding city of Chongqing [31
million inhabitants], selected LILIANE BV from among approximately 200
Dutch international enterprises as the one with the greatest sales
potential in China by far: “I am very impressed by the DollsVilla by Liliane®.” Tielman is sounding out the potential of bringing the
DollsVilla by Liliane® to the children of China at the Wereldveroveraars conference for
conquerors of the world on 13 May 2014.
Tielman: “The
DollsVilla by Liliane® has tremendous sales
potential in China. Here’s an anecdote to illustrate this. I live in a
hotel in Chongqing. I recently passed by a wedding reception in the
hotel. Looking outside, I noticed that there were ten Ferraris at the
hotel car park! What I want to say is that there are many people in
China nowadays with serious money. My British colleague sells Bentleys
and he told me that he sold eighty Bentleys in just four years’ time.”
“This is the Bentley! [pointing to the
DollsVilla by Liliane®
on the screen in the conference hall] The Dutch DollsVilla by Liliane® is the
Bentley among the world’s dolls houses. The Chinese are very
status-oriented. If you, as a parent, are able to buy a DollsVilla by Liliane®, you are a good parent.”
“Because of the
one-child policy, parents only want the very
best for their child. The last [marketing]
element is that the Chinese wish to educate
their child to the highest possible level
and give it the best possible upbringing.
Parents are anticipating on the importance
of developing a child’s creative potential.
The DollsVilla by Liliane® can contribute to this
ideal.”
'Wereldveroveraars' is the Netherlands
International entrepreneurial network.
