A Sleek New Home For Your Random Stuff
These grown-up dollhouses can shelter your cell phone and sunglasses.
Don Draper's having a tough time unloading his midcentury apartment, but you can snag your own miniature version of a 1960s-era pad in the form of a floating shelf crafted by Canadian furniture maker Judson Beaumont.
Beaumont's “Walled Estates” are mounted shelves resembling mod dollhouses. The series is inspired by the iconic silhouettes of Palm Springs’s desert homes. Beaumont says he was struck by the houses' iconic "butterfly roofs" when he visited the city for Modernism Week last year. (The whimsical moniker is a nod to the roofs' angular design.) Beaumont also paid homage to the retro vibe by outfitting the shelves with miniature Eames-style chairs, faux wood paneled walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
