Claudy Jongstra One-off Felt Toy House
About the Item
Beautiful toy house made of cardboard clad with felt by Claudy Jongstra. Very early work of this amazing designer. One-off piece designed and made specially for an interior design fair in The Netherlands in the year 2000. Marked with label.
Claudy Jongstra is known worldwide for her monumental artworks and architectural installations, whose organic surfaces and nuanced tones reflect Jongstra’s masterful innovations in the ancient technique of making wool felt. Jongstra’s oeuvre, often installed in large public spaces, is included in many international museums as well as private and corporate collections.
In 2001, Jongstra established her studio in Friesland, a rural northern province of The Netherlands, where she began a sweeping ecological experiment carried out in the local landscape.
Maintaining a flock of rare, indigenous Drenthe Heath sheep (the oldest breed in Northern Europe) and cultivating a specialized historic botanical dye collection garden, Jongstra creates a completely sustainable chain culminating in her artworks.
As Jongstra’s artistic practice expands, so too does the impact on her region. Collaborating with local farms, schools, universities and social initiatives, and drawing on a deep respect for the interwoven narratives of people, land, and tacit knowledge, Jongstra actively reimagines and revitalizes the local landscape from monocultural production toward a more diverse, inclusive, and ecologically-just model.

- High Tea Pot by Studio Wieke Somers, 2003By Studio Wieki Somers 1Located in Dronten, NLThis daring, contemporary design classic turns the polite activity of tea drinking on its head. The Rotterdam-based Studio Weiki Somers—one of today’s brightest and most poetic design stars—surprises us by modeling a teapot on the shape of a pig’s skull. The studio originally designed this piece for a project called Deliciously Decadent; Somers herself defines decadence as the moment “where the tasty and the unsavory, the harmful and the delightful, are no longer discernible from one another.” The High Tea...Category

- Liberty's London Camel Sculpture with Lovely Aged Leather on Hand Carved WoodLocated in Pulborough, GBWe are excited to present this camel sculpture with lovely aged leather on hand-carved wood. It has been made for Liberty's in London. This full-grown and very realistic dromedary or camel has both great aesthetic and decretive value. They have been made for the kids of the wealthy people that shopped by Liberty's. Underneath the leather, the hide is a very well-carved wooden sculpture which is why the sizeable camel has such realistic features. It is a very realistic sculpture and a good size, it also has the original leather which makes it even rarer. We feel that the maker of this work of animal art has beautifully captured the look and soul of this majestic desert animal...Category
