The 'Tdo Wallpaper Dollhouse' is Also a Luxury Lamp
Meghan Young — October 22, 2010 — Art & Design
It seems kind of unfair that a doll can have a better home than its owners -- the 'TDO Wallpaper Dollhouse' is the perfect example. Although it might not look like a traditional home, it certainly is a scaled-down architectural wonder, making it a much more compelling concept for a contemporary dwelling.
According to Gizmodo, the 'TDO Wallpaper Dollhouse' is "supposedly based on architect Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye building which was built in Paris in 1929." Cool and contemporary, it is also a practical piece that acts as a lamp when closed.
