Meghan Young — June 13, 2013 — Pop Culture
It may be nearly a decade since the finale of 'Friends' aired back in 2004, but that doesn't mean people haven't lost their love for the long-running sitcom; Bruna Salvador Conforto proves that she is still a big fan. So big, in fact, that she has recreated Monica's iconic New York city apartment in diorama form. Incredibly detailed, the model is the first one Bruna Salvador Conforto ever created, which is quite the impressive feat.
Bruna Salvador Conforto included everything from the kitchen to the balcony. From candles and picture frames to the mismatched chairs and beloved peep hold picture frame, the diorama is completely fashioned out of paper and painted by hand. She referenced both pictures and photos to stay true to the apartment.
Bruna Salvador Conforto has since made 'Gilmore Girls' dioramas.
