Lundby Three-story House
The interior
Lundby of Sweden, located in Lerum, Sweden, was very successful in marketing their ¾ inch scale furniture and dollhouses during the 1970s and 1980s. The furniture was so popular that it was carried in national mail order catalogs in the United States, as well as in the Lundby catalogs distributed throughout the world. Lundby houses were unusual in that they were sold in pieces that could be combined to complete a house two, three, or four stories tall. The basic house was made of hardwood while the windows, banisters, and staircases were plastic. The furniture was machine-tooled hardwood or plastic and featured fabric upholstery. The company went out of business in 1993, but a new line was introduced by Lundby in 1999.
