Lundby (company)

There have been many other styles of Lundby dollhouse introduced over the years, such as the 'Stockholm' House in 1975 (and a newer, more modern, version in 2005).

It has a basic rectangular shape with a bright red pitched roof, a blue painted frame and paper brickwork on the outside.

Rival dollhouse manufacturer Lerro produced houses in the same style and dimensions; however the roof, frame and brickwork were different colours to that of the Lundby model.

This particularly applied to the Göteborg dollhouse with its funky wallpaper, a white frame, a bright red pitched roof, 2 rooms on the first floor and 3 rooms on the ground floor it became Lundby's most popular house and gradually their mainstay of dollhouse production.

The early model (1960–1964) featured light blue floors, a wooden staircase with full banisters, a tall chimney (1.7") and a wall with an open doorway which divided the bathroom in two.

Lundby's success with the Göteborg model gave them the chance to experiment with new house designs.

By the latter half of the 1960s, the windows were fitted with frames moulded in white plastic with Perspex imitation glass, and the dollhouses gradually became more neutral in decor.
