Hello Ben Holiday House! Last year CB2 brought us the Neville House which was small, close to 1:18 scale for $60. The new Ben Holiday House is $50, 3 stories and only 9" tall, so I have no idea what itty bitty scale that would be. 1:36? Doris of minimodernistas is considering buying one and making furniture to whatever scale it is, stay tuned. (images from cb2 website www.cb2.com/new-accessories/new/ben-holiday-house/s425214)
Update
The scale is supposed to be 1/4 quarter, but I'll confirm with Doris when she gets hers. The back is completely open, you can see pictures here: https://twitter.com/CB2weho/status/264385415144939521/photo/1.
Sadly, Modern MC has seen the Ben Holiday House in San Francisco and Berkeley, and the ones here are "poorly made = splintered cuts, misaligned windows & glue residue abound". Has anyone seen if they are made any better in other parts of the country?

Coolio! I just won some MacAlister 1:24 pieces on eBay yesterday -- perhaps they will fit??? I think they actually might, with those dimensions. Definitely adding it to my collection :)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Hey, I dibs "coolio".... My grandkid must be similar age to your kids Call Small. What do your kids call neat stuff, Megan? CM
ReplyDeleteYAY! So let's see...CB2 and Land of Nod has something for us---will Crate & Barrel? Ohh---wouldn't you love some miniature C&B furniture? Are they listening to us?...
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen the open side , what this cutie looks on the inside? can you open it at all? Just a thought......

Perhaps it's just my own inclination but, for those of us who want to stick with 1:12, this looks like it could be a pretty fabulous floor-to-ceiling kitty condo! A little carpet, a little sisal, maybe a few more openings . . . (so now you know who runs my household!)
ReplyDeleteSpeechless and drooling...but does it have large openings in the back?

ReplyDeleteThe Ben Holiday House is just careless slapped together in NY, too.
ReplyDeleteI have a Bozart Kaleidoscope, new, mint, never removed from box, which was never removed from the original shipping carton, also four sets of Kaleidoscope furniture, plus an art collection and family of dolls, also all never removed from their original boxes. I would like to sell all of these, and am thinking of ebay. Good idea? Anyone know anyone interested. These are in Boston. awlloyd@awlloyd.com
