What is your first association with Barbie style?

a) Beauty, fun, colourful?
b) Plastic, pink, cheap?

If your answer is "b" I got something that would make you change your mind! Modern, minimalist, eco friendly house made of birch plywood and oak, and furnished with the reproductions of the current trends in international design, in scale ... for Barbie doll. After "Toy Story 3" which broke the negative steretype about Barbie's intelligence, Miniio doll house brakes the stereotype about Barbie's cheap taste.

I don't know any person who doesn't like teddy bears (neither an adult nor a child). Do you? Most of us used to have a teddy (at least one), and our grandparents, and our children too . For many people it is the most important toy of the whole childhood.

In 2002, 25th November was established the International Day of Teddy Bear. So I guess this day would be a great opportunity to „Finish your Teddy”.

Guess what was one of my children's favourite toy? Our new washing machine cardboard packaging. We have made a house of it and the children have decorated it with crayons. They have played with it for another 5 or 6 months until it got totally damaged and we had to get rid of it. And then there was a black despair and a bereavement...

Children's preference for cardboard houses is not just a marketing trick or a myth spread by ecology fanatics. Kids do like having their own space where they can create and hide – the room is too big and too accessible for adults. The cardboard house is just right size and it offers a space for child's decorations – all the walls inside and outside – and for his/her secrets.
