1/ Dolls’ House of Petronella Oortman, c. 1686 - c. 1710.
This house is exceptionally realistic. All the contents have been made of authentic materials, and the proportions are exactly correct. The fine cabinet, of tortoiseshell decorated with pewter inlays, was made by a cabinetmaker from France, who worked in Amsterdam for several years. Petronella Oortman was married to the Amsterdam merchant Johannes Brandt.
2/ Dolls’ House of Petronella Oortman, painting by Jacob Appel, c. 1710
The painting shows that the dolls’ house was once protected by yellow curtains, which when closed created the impression of a four-poster bed, with plumes on the corners. In the painting, the curtains are drawn back and the doors are also open. All the original dolls have been lost, with the exception of a baby in a cradle.

Floris Wubben’s delicate ‘Stripped’ lamp is a gorgeous reworking of nature
Constructed from a single branch split into three pieces at its base and ‘stripped’ of its bark at the top, this standing lamp from Dutch designer Floris Wubben is at once a sophisticated example of modern design and a wholly natural product.
The designer explains how creating the product from a singular chunk of wood with ‘minimal changes’ applied to it, the piece “obtains a new function, without losing its natural and exceptional appearance”. As if the product isn’t bespoke enough, each branch dictates the form the eventual product will take… meaning no two ‘Stripped’ Lamps are the same.
I think it’s a fab idea. Like steam-bending, utilising wood’s natural outer materiality and manipulating it into a tangible form is a refreshing technique for using this ancient material a little differently. At the link below, you can find more exciting examples of Wubben’s all-natural wood products. Check them out… they’re brilliant.
