Mini-Style. In the latest Brocade Home catalog, the seasonal gift section features three sets of Brocade-Home-style miniatures. Pictured above are the three chairs in the Petite Chaise collection...
Like Vitra Miniatures (or those Japanese modern miniature collectibles that I can't find a link to), these could be the way to celebrate the style of Brocade Home, without much investment.
Each of the sets is priced at $49 and two sets are $89. While these pieces do not claim to be made to scale, they are roughly 1:12.

i love miniatures!
What's the quality?
Will the upholstery wear well?
Is it itchy?
Will the painted finish chip?
Is the wood sustainable?
Do they screw you on shipping?
Is the blue more a periwinkle or a robin's egg?
Will this look dated in a year?
;)
so cute! I have a dollhouse hiding out in my parent's attic that I hope to bring out when I have a daughter someday... These would be perfect :)
p(too), you missed "anyone could DIY this better and cheaper."
Actually, with dollar store furniture, white paint, and fabric scraps, you could, come to think of it.
Furniture actually in my price range that will fit into my home!
Well done!
To AmandaC - why not if you have a son? :)
Why isn't the fabric to scale?
I just don't get this brocade thing. Every month they send a catalogue to me and I don't like a thing in it. I do like the bigger print on the miniatures though.
Oh, and is the fabric cat friendly? :)
How about - "This chair is exactly what I want but I only have a budget of $x."
I completely agree with itsthehouseshow - I had high hopes when I saw some initial photos of their stuff, but when I actually got the catalogue... yuck. Anything in that green color is especially hideous.
priceless, p(too).
aaron, that made me laugh out loud!
Oh, and I just found one chair like this on the street in Park Slope, with a missing leg and no seat cushion. Anyone know of a tiny woodworker who could fix the broken leg and make five more duplicate chairs? Btw, I am on a budget.
:)
