A short video that will bring back childhood memories and keep you glued to your screen. 

What is it about miniatures and miniturisation that we find so fascinating, so compelling? We start out with doll houses and toy soldiers. Some of us when we grow up carry on with model trains, historical figurines or vintage doll collections. At home we have many little neighbourhoods around the house, populated by Lego personalities, Sylvanians or Playmobil people. Imagine an entire city, however, built up in HO model train scale, a metropolis mirroring one in real life, only at one 100th of the size, or even smaller! Here, courtesy of some clever photography by Filippo Rivetti, is Tiny Sydney.

 


Florence Rolando

Florence Rolando (journalist, co-founder of Bubble Trade Shows) was the original Founder of Pirouette in early 2009. Pirouette blog* has been a reference in the industry since it started with its combined business and consumer view of the children’s market. A fantastic resource for children’s fashion, design, trends and culture, it aims to support creativity and talent but it also does this by talking about life, family, culture and health.

Florence is an international leader in the industry (8 years as a Milk Collaborator, contributor to Naif Magazine in Spain, co-founder of Bubble Trade Shows in New York and London).
