2015 Småland

In 2015 the owners of the Lundby line, Micki Leksaker AB in Gemla, Sweden, are presenting a brand new open floor plan design in their classic Småland dollhouse. In cooperation with Sandberg AB, a Swedish wallpaper company, the walls now have a romantic yet modern look with fantastic patterns in lovely colors.
           

This year Lundby gets a high tech boost! Not only does the new model of Småland introduce a remote control lighting system, it features a new TV and music unit set with a built-in Bluetooth speaker.
           

All new items will be available in August 2015. However, the launch of the new line will be delayed in the US, due to a large stock of the current Småland.
