One Couch Three Ways! Art Deco!

I thoroughly enjoy doing custom work and collaborating with other miniaturists. You find yourself working on projects that you would not have thought.

It can be a bit challenging and frustrating at times, getting things from your mind's eye, to the actual item. After the challenge/frustration part, there is such a feeling of accomplishment and pride. Like you won over it.

Recently, I collaborated with Richard from minibydesign on etsy. He makes a lot of modern furniture, like this boomerang table. Now, he's dipping into the world of Art Deco.

The interest in Art Deco for dollhouses has been steadily increasing. It should! The designs from that age are so fabulous and luxurious.

Which brings me to this couch that Richard made. It's a replica of a Paul Frankl Streamline Sofa.

So, I collaborated with him on this lovely piece, I made him the cushions and upholstery for it.

In a gorgeous red/black fabric, depending on how the light hits it.

This luxurious silvery gray fabric.

And, this silky cream fabric.

Richard tells me that he's going to be listing this couch shortly, so, I'd keep an eye on his shop if you are interested in it. Be sure to see all of his other furniture while your there as well. He's even got a piece of dollhouse steam punk, but, I'm not going to link it, you have to go find it. :)
