Barbie collaborates with Kartell to release doll-size versions of their most popular chairs!

I love doll sized furniture, especially when they are designer chairs. And now we have a new collaboration that results in some iconic chairs being released in Barbie size pink coloured versions! Kartell, the famous acrylic furniture brand, has collaborated with Mattel, making a set of five of their most popular chair designs in 1/6 scale. The set will be available from Mattel Creations on the 16th of April 2024, 9.00 am PT. The price is $60.00 for the set.

Mattel Creations partnered with Kartell, the Milan-based design company known for transforming furniture into art, to recreate five of their iconic designs for Barbie. These bold and elevated doll-sized interpretations also delve into the future of plastics, using innovative materials to produce unique seating pieces. They’re the perfect chairs for your Barbie collection.

The five chair designs are: the famous Louis Ghost, Masters, A.I., Venice, and Ero|S| chairs, all designed by the world renowned designer Philippe Starck for Kartell. They all come in pink coloured plastic, with Louis Ghost and Ero|S| being transparent. They are made with Kartell materials (bio based plastic) and the packaging is from recycled materials, something that (unfortunately) is not the norm for Mattel. I love the box and the way they are nestled inside it. What a magnificent set, not only for doll collectors but also for design lovers! And the price is great, as usually miniature chairs are quite expensive when coming from furniture companies.

W Club reveals the first 2017 club doll: British Invasion is happening! Poppy Parker and her egg chair!

​Programming is not always smooth. Especially when you depend on third parties to deliver products or services required for it. So it was no surprise that W Club announced to its members that the first special Club doll that was slotted to be revealed around this time of the year was postponed and another one took its place. They also said that Fashion Royalty and Nu Face collections would be delayed too. The consolation prize is great though: the first W Club doll of the year is an amazing Poppy Parker from the Swinging London collection! More so, members get to order an egg chair for her too!

Poppy Parker is ready for her British Invasion in a Union Jack mini-dress. She sports cherry red, fully rooted hair, a mod faux leather scooter (or racing) coat, bobby hat and bright white knee-high laced boots, Poppy also comes with a matching jewelry set, a purse and three British themed pillows. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included. Note: The doll and the chair are sold separately, with the 3 throw pillows coming with the doll.. Please note that the doll pictured in the photo is a prototype and as always, final production colors and textures may vary slightly.

This is an amazing release, especially for mod lovers. The doll is absolutely amazing with her cherry red hair, mod make up and styling. The Union Jack dress is a bit too on the nose but it's definitely going to be very popular. The mod coat, hat, boots and bag perfectly finish the look. Her jewelry looks perfect too.  The coat reminds me of the one worn by Sweet Confection Poppy.

The perfection continues to the box she comes in: it is made to resemble an iconic British red phone booth! We already knew this would be coming but seeing how good it looks... amazing!

The chair is a reproduction in scale of the iconic Ball Chair, designed back in 1963 by the brilliant Finish designer Eero Arnio. It must not be confused with the egg chair, which is egg shapd and designed by Arne Jacobsen, a famous Danish architect and designer of that era. Below is a photo of the original chair by the photographer Sailko (Wikimedia Commons).

W Club members get to preorder one doll per membership plus all the chairs they want, by June 20th. What an amazing release! I bet she is going to have a large edition number. The price of the chair is good too, so I'd love to see more reproductions of iconic chairs released with Integrity Toys dolls. We already have the Barcelona (FR) and the Panton (Dynamite Girls) chairs, so please IT, give us more!
