Villa Julia, a little cardboard playhouse for kids

This cardboard playhouse is a stimulating game that requires kids to become actively involved: they have to assemble it, decorate it, personalize it and then they get to play in it!

This cardboard playhouse called Villa Julia is a perfect eco-friendly home made of cardboard, a material that appears to be in vogue and has been used lately to make all sorts of toys: cut-out dolls, pinhole cameras, animated mechanical dolls... and generally all those "do-it-yourself" toys.

The cardboard playhouse was unveiled at the 2009 Milan Fair and was conceived at the studio of Spanish designer Mariscal, who regularly creates furniture and children’s collections for an Italian company called Magis. These toys that require building and assembling perfectly imitate life itself: if you want a house, you’re going to have to work for it. So, if the kids want a playhouse in the garden, they’ll have to work for it, too, just like in real life. The fun begins from the get-go and kids have to follow 5 steps to build the cardboard playhouse of their dreams: assemble, personalize, decorate, inhabit, and take it apart (that’s if they want to store it).




It’s a perfect symbiosis between design and ecology that will stimulate the minds of boys, girls and grown-ups alike. Although adults will have to go in on their knees.

At Curiosite we also have a cardboard playhouse that kids can assemble themselves. It’s called House, and it’s made of white cardboard that they can decorate using markers.
