Zaha Dadid-designed dolls' house sells for 14,000 GBP

A Dolls’ House’ sold for £14,000 at Bonhams for UK charity KIDS supporting disabled children, young people and their families

An interpretation of ZHA’s Ideal House pavilion (a 2007 commission for the German Design Council that explored new concepts and spaces for living) the Dolls’ House design is ZHA’s take on that most traditional of toys.

The Dolls House design is a puzzle where six interlocking elements, reminiscent of rooms, stack together to create a singular, unified house. A continuous void travels through the assembled house to create a common space shared by every element and defining circulation from one room to the other.

The design encourages a continual re-evaluation of composition and form. The pieces can be assembled and dismantled in many combinations, to be reassessed with each new combination – the voids interpreted as new and unique rooms or courtyards for dolls to inhabit.
