TDO were invited by Wallpaper* magazine to design a contemporary dolls house for its inaugural Handmade Edition.
This was TDO’s first project. It was through the design of Clementine House that we cemented the studio’s design principles: working with simple geometries and face finished materials.
Most doll’s houses are a compromised small scale version of a traditional house. We set out instead to create a house that could one day become a full-scale reality.
To allow for interaction with all areas, the house is designed vertically. Once opened, it reveals a miniature world traversed by a series of ramps that form a striking lattice structure.
When closed, a flick of a switch deftly transforms the house into a softly glowing lamp, its translucent façade hinting at the fun within.
