What is "lundby"

Wikipedia
Lundby (company)

Lundby, also known as Lundby of Sweden, is a Swedish maker of dollshouses and miniature furniture for the mass market. Lundby dollshouse furniture has been produced since 1947 and their dollshouses have been sold since the late 1940s. The company started in the Gothenburg suburb of Lundby, which also gave the company its name.

Lundby claims to have been the first to have had electrical lights in their dollshouses ("child safe" 4 volt rather than the more standard 12 volt) and is notable for following contemporary trends in interior and furniture design.

The most common Lundby house style is the Gothenburg, which has remained very similar in style from the 1960s through to 2006 when it was discontinued in favour of the Småland dollshouse. There have been many other styles of Lundby dollshouse introduced over the years, such as the Stockholm House in 1975 (and a newer, more modern, version in 2005).

Lundby houses, furniture and accessories are 2/3-inch scale, also known as 1:18 scale, where 1 foot in real life is 2/3 inch in dollshouse size.
