DollsVilla by Liliane® design for children and the elderly

     
 

Designer Liliane Limpens: My motivation to design the DollsVilla by Liliane® stems from a desire to give children their own dream haven. This villa had to be top quality, and not meant for tiny dolls, but an exclusive, private domain, just for your favourite 12" dolls [30 cm]. A domain with its own standards, values, rules and freedoms. One that children nurture as they grow older.

The Dutch design DollsVilla by Liliane®. "Oh wow! No plastic, no pink, no shapeless design that takes kids for idiots… Just a simple and clean design, that helps kids to learn something we should all instil: less is more. Sharp details." Architect Marianne Charbonneau | Bing Bang Pouf Canada.

DOLLSVILLA IN ARCHITECTURE MUSEUM

 

Exhibition of the DollsVilla at the exhibition Playing Architecture - the game for the city in ARCAM, the Architecture Center Amsterdam, from December 10, 2022 to May 28, 2023.

 

Dollhouses are one of the oldest and best-known types of building games, but the examples in this exhibition transcend outdated paradigms to illustrate aspects of society that aren't represented in traditional dollhouses.

 
 

The exhibition raises awareness of the messages and representations contained in architectural games – in a positive and negative sense – and invites you to directly experience their potential through play, including with the DollsVilla by Liliane®.

"Liliane Limpens also recognized that you needed little to create a discernible, contemporary appearance. In 1999 she came up with the PoppenVilla, 'the Bentley among doll's houses'. What sets it apart, above all, are its dimensions: 130 cm tall, 120 cm wide and 62 cm deep. Several children can play with it at the same time, with 30-cm-tall dolls or soft toys. Limpens wanted to make a sustainable design house out of high-quality materials: clear-varnished birch wood and stainless steel. Her motto was: 'Papa and mama have a granite kitchen working top, stainless steel taps, double washbasins, a design bed... Thus so should the children and their dolls." 25

 

"Such details do of course come at a price that, despite the miniature size, is beyond the reach of many people: over 1700 euros without furniture. It also features a ramp, a recent feature to make the PoppenVilla supposedly 'gender neutral'."

 

"Limpens advises every new customer to immediately place a car on it, because: 'Then the little boys know: "It's also for us."' 26 Will this substantially help to solve gender problems? Whatever the case, the house is immensely popular: thousands of hospitals, creches and primary schools in various countries have ordered one over the past two decades. It looks modern, is a niche product with a good marketing concept and has scarcely any competitors. Yet the innovative aspects are not architectural: this is an upper-middle-class family home with a pitched roof, which suggests a classical family unit comprising two parents and two children." 27

 
 

"The success of the PoppenVilla has not been matched by all manufacturers: Sirch, Minimii and Mini Archi have reason to be satisfied if they sell fifty houses in a year. So what does the PoppenVilla have that they lack? It is certified for sale in the EU and US, because the toy market is strictly regulated and official testing agencies apply high standards. Smaller producers of doll's houses that cost 300-500 euros can scarcely afford the necessary quality, safety and environmental certificates. Moreover, the required sturdiness places demands on materials and construction, which in turn do not always chime with elegance."

The washbasins, mirror, rails and worktop make the bathroom and kitchen instantly recognizable. The other rooms are almost automatically designated as living room, parents' room, children's room and study. Limpens calls the seventh room (on the ground floor) a 'recreation room': it could be a horse stable, bike shed, garage, sports or music room. In that respect, the slightly smaller PoppenVilla Light is more abstract, with three indoor spaces and one outdoor space that are not further defined.

Silvia Fabro - Italian product & graphic designer:

Quando si dice "amore a prima vista"! Dollsvilla by Liliane® Limpens [When you say "love at first sight"!] Facebook Fabrodesign August 12, 2020.

 

Hello Liliane, I am a designer, Montessori by vocation and I think your product is beautiful. I saw the Villa in Milan (Fuorisalone). My favorite job is to design for children and your house is a very beautiful message: gender neutrality and much more. It's so nice to see someone pays attention to the details for children's toys.

 

Thank you Silvia! Children are in the basement of new lifes, that is why investing in them is so fundamental, a person carries the emo-DNA of the base for a lifetime. Gender neutrality, how nice to define this.

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.

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.

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.

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?

"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!".

CHILD AWARE OF HIS OWN INNER AND

 

OUTER WORLD

 

The renowned Italian design-lifestyle magazine CASA facile published an editorial about the Dutch design DollsVilla by Liliane®.

 
 
The Doll’s House

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 world. In this way they refine their 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 world around them.

Le casette ma anche le mini cucine fanno parte dei cosiddetti giochi di imitazione.

Il gioco rende il bambino consapevole del proprio mondo interiore e di quello esteriore.

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."

GO PLAY IN YOUR POPPENVILLA

 
   

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.

A CHILDREN'S DREAM HOUSE FOR  
THEIR DOLLS AND CARS  
   

The DollsVilla by Liliane® is much more than a normal doll house. The Villa is specially designed for dolls that are one foot tall – children’s favourite dolls – making it unique in the world and popular among children.

 
   

The open design of the Villa encourages interaction and free play: up to six children can use it at the same time. Apart from families, the Villa is also a much-loved item at day care centres and primary schools not just in the Netherlands, but across Europe.

 
   

Apart from play, there are other interesting applications. Currently universities in the Netherlands and Poland are researching how play therapists, child psychiatrists and psychologists can use the Villa to help children who suffer from trauma.

 
   

Designer Liliane Limpens says: “In the words of the Dutch consul-general Guido Tielman in Chongqing, China, the DollsVilla by Liliane® is ‘the Bentley among the world’s dolls houses!’”
