The implicit message I want to
give to children is:
'Look, here is
a villa made just for your children.
The villa is sturdy, mobile and made from sustainable design
materials. No expense has been spared; on the contrary. If your
children - the dolls - are happy, this contributes to your own happiness.'
In the home, the villa is not only fun for the whole family, but
it is educational for parents. By listening to their children’s
stories and watching their movements, children’s developmental
phases emerge.
IN LOVE
"The villa is a big success!!
Our daughter was given it for her 3rd
birthday. At her birthday
party I think every mom asked me
about the villa. We are also now
the favourite house for play
dates as all the girls want to
come over and play with the
dolls villa.
The villa is an amazing dolls house and
we are very happy with it. Our
daughter can play with it for
hours [meaning I can get some
work done]. We were also very
impressed with the quality [when
we were assembling it]. It was a
whole evening's work, but fun and
impressive.
I think the villas should be
seen as much as possible. As I
said all the moms who have seen
it, love it. Stores could have
the villa with a clear
advertisement of what it is.
I know that I often go to a
well-known quality shop in
Amsterdam-south for children's
clothes. Liz plays with the
dolls villa there so I can take my
time and look around. She
doesn't want to leave the store
because she wants to play longer.
I therefore spend more time in
the shop and eventually buy
something I wasn't planning to
just because my child was
happily playing and I had the
time to look around. You benefit
because I - like other people -
fall in love with the dolls
villa. But having said this, the
villa is an upper segment
product, so its budget is for a
select group of clientele.
Thank you again for the good
service and fantastic product. I
think this dolls villa will stay
with us for many many years, if
not generations."
A
MOTHER
Marlou Dreesen:
"I did
not want to buy plastic dolls' furniture for my children. What
a relief that a product like this has finally been designed
and made available on
the market! My two sons and daughter spend many hours playing with
the dolls villa. The recreation space, at the bottom of the villa, doubles
as a garage for cars and lorries."
DE BIJENKORF AMSTERDAM
Hennie
de Wit, Children’s World category manager at the department
stores:
"The LILIANEdolls
villa is perfect for our new Children’s World concept that
we are setting up in our chain stores. Not only as an item to
sell, but also as a gimmick in our children’s wear
departments. We believe your product will contribute to the image we want to create for these
departments".
NATIONAL AWARD
FOR INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS
The
LILIANE
dolls
villa was the winner of the Dutch National Award for
Innovative Designs.
It was the first time in the 30 years of the
Dutch Trade Mart that a toy had been awarded this prize.
UNBELIEVABLY, THE VILLA HAS MORE...
Founders
Flavourites:
"When we were little girls, we
would dream of having a lovely
doll's house. Liliane thinks bigger:
she has come up with and made a huge
dolls villa. You really have to see
it! The villa has even more rooms
and furniture than our own house! In
one word: fan-tas-tic! As many as 30
dolls can live in this sturdy,
timber villa, and as many as six
children can easily play with it for
hours. And because our children play
with the villa,
LILIANE
can provide sponsor support to
women's shelters in the Netherlands.
Ah yes, now we big girls have great
dreams of a dolls' villa..."
EVERYDAY LIFE
Vervoorn, editor-in-chief of Kidzlifestyle: "As a
mother and a products scout, I have seen many beautiful
doll's houses. But when I first saw the
LILIANE
dolls' villa, words simply failed me. It's just so
stunning, so solid, so stylish. And so beautifully
conceived. It comes as no surprise that it is also the
winner of the National Award for Innovative Design. The
size of the villa, as well as the beautifully finished
spaces in the house really stimulate children - boys as
well as girls - between the ages of 3 and 10 years old
to play together and have fun. After all, there's
nothing more inspiring than the recreation of 'everyday
life'."

"You know how it is, sometimes you're house-hunting, and
however strict your budget, it just goes out the window
when you see your dream property. Beware, then of the
same phenomenon as it applies to dolls' houses. You may
start browsing with a firm figure in mind, but when you
see what is available at the top of the range, all
that is forgotten.
Take the
LILIANE
dolls villa. The price is approximately ten times what
you might expect to pay for such a thing. But take a
look at it. It's huge. It's crafted from good-quality wood,
by a respected designer. It comes with good intentions
about being just as suitable for boys as girls [so, if
you have one of each, you get double the use out of
it...].
Well, the fact is that most of us will look at it, see the
price, and move on, reluctantly or otherwise. But if you
could
stretch to this sort of money for a toy, the chances
are, you just might."
UP GRADING
Sterre en Tijl exclusive children's stores:
"You won't
believe the response I get to the LILIANE dolls villa, it's
overwhelming! What's more, this product attracts a whole new
clientele.
Putting a LILIANE dolls villa in a store upgrades the entire range of
products. This product alone is
enough to lend the entire store a high-quality feel. The LILIANE dolls
villa is the most beautiful and most sensational toy introduced in recent years."
IMMEDIATELY IN LOVE
The children's megastore Winny Moskou:
"All of the children of Russia would be crazy with delight if they
could see the LILIANE
dolls villa! These are the types of things
people immediately fall in love with. This is about me and your villa."
TARGET GROUP
De Toermalijn wooden toy shop, Eindhoven: "The
LILIANE dolls villa can also be used for traditional
dolls and collector's items, such as dolls by Käthe Kruse. By
including the villa in the range, the age limit of the target
group using wooden toy shops has been extended from
approximately 8 to 12 years old."
FIRST SHOP IN
DENMARK
Schoolsupplier Leika has already introduced

CHILDREN'S SHOP
KINDER RAÜME DÜSSELDORF
"TOTAL
TOLL. Here we find an extraordinary,
absolutely fantastic dolls' house. The superlatives
apply: durable, extremely stable, versatile, flexible, as well as very practical. The villa is 120
cm wide, 60 cm deep and 124 cm high and is placed on
four strong wheels with foot brakes, which enable the
playhouse to be relocated quickly. Thus the play house
can be moved rapidly.
Children can play at the same time
on all 4 sides. The basic material is durable plywood
and the roof is made of perforated stainless steel.
This gives this dolls villa a modern and
timeless character. The separate components are numerous and
are part of the complete villa, from the furniture
to the kitchen to the splendid spiral stairs. The
bathroom and kitchen units have perfect sinks and taps. The wardrobes have
real mirrors and so much more. The three beds are supplied with bed linen. The playhouse can be used by dolls up
30 cm in height".
A HUGE ADMIRER
Shop 'Little Dreamers' Ireland:
"I am a huge admirer of your dolls villa. I saw it
in a shop in Düsseldorf on one of my visits there during
the year".
THIS IS NOT ANOTHER ONE
The
design warehouses Vinçon in Madrid and Barcelona have introduced
the dolls
villa to the Spanish consumer-market:
"This is not just another dolls' house!"
