Paper pop-ups shrink everyday life into adorably tiny scenarios
by Meghan Killeen
A slice of life shrinks even smaller with the miniature design line, Terada Mokei. Architect-turned-modeler Naoki Terada’s Architectural Model Accessories Series is a monochrome microcosmic representation of everyday life. Terada adopted a 1/100 scale ratio for the series, promoting a metric-based “global standard” that adorably scales down the largeness of reality to one-hundredth the size.
Populating the paper environments, Terada’s version of the modern man and his archetypal family consist of featureless cookie-cutter silhouettes of male, female and child figures. Each series places a variation of the family in different scenarios, ranging from park activities to earthquake-disrupted dinners and office obsequiousness, all packaged in single-colored sheets of pre-cut parts, reminiscent of model die-cuts.
Terada Mokei also features a line of Architectural Model Greeting Cards. Pop-up figures with word-bubble expressions say it when you can’t with this sentimental stationary.
The 1/100 Architectural Model Accessories Series retails for ¥1,575, with the Architectural Greeting Cards selling for ¥580, both from the Terada Mokei website.
Rock vinyl anywhere with this player in the shape of mini VW bus
Officially licensed by Volkswagen, the clever little Soundwagon record player has finally been released worldwide, and we had the chance to see it ourselves at the recent CES. Originally only available in Japan this mini, hyper-portable record player is sure to grab some attention.
Modeled after VW’s classic bus, the record player delivers ’70s nostalgia right to your living room, or anywhere that needs highly-detailed, cute grooviness. With a built-in needle powered by a nine volt battery, all you need to do is drop the wagon on a record and let it ride. The producer, STOKYO, promises the new model’s enhanced built-in speaker will deliver higher quality sound than in previous or knock-off versions. Check out the wagon in action in the video below.
The Soundwagon currently comes in cherry red, royal blue, black or white for the global market, runs ¥7,980 (about $96 currently) and sells from STOKYO’s online store directly for a wider color variety.
