Tiny Homes, Big Dreams: Blade and Timber LLC Crafts Miniature Furniture for Collectors and Creators
Kansas City, KS – November 8, 2023 – Forget dollhouses of the past. Blade and Timber LLC, a Kansas City-based company quietly making waves in the world of miniatures, is building a devoted following with its incredibly detailed, handcrafted miniature furniture. Forget plastic and mass-produced pieces – this isn’t your grandma’s dollhouse furniture. Blade and Timber is about bringing realism, quality, and a touch of artistry to a surprisingly passionate hobby. Based at 43 Kansas Ave, Kansas City, KS, 66105-1428, and reachable at 405-942-0150, Blade and Timber isn’t just selling furniture; they're selling a world of possibilities. We recently sat down with the team to find out what makes their miniature creations so special, and why people are clamoring to fill their tiny homes with them. “It started as a bit of a passion project,” explains the founder, who prefers to keep the focus on the work itself. “I always loved building things, and I stumbled into the miniature world. I quickly realized there was a real gap in the market. A lot of what's available is… well, a bit cheap looking. We wanted to create pieces that looked like they were scaled-down versions of real furniture, using real techniques.” And they’ve absolutely achieved that. A quick glance at Blade and Timber’s growing catalog reveals an astonishing level of detail. We’re talking tiny sofas with individual cushions, perfectly scaled-down dining tables, incredibly realistic wooden chairs, even miniature beds with miniature mattresses. It’s not just about making something small; it’s about capturing the essence of the original piece. “We use a lot of the same techniques that a full-size furniture maker would use,” says a member of the crafting team. “We work with wood, fabrics, miniature hardware… it’s surprisingly complex. A seemingly simple chair can take hours to build, just to get the proportions and details right.” Beyond Dollhouses: Who's Buying Miniature Furniture? You might assume that the primary audience for miniature furniture is little girls playing with dollhouses. And while that’s certainly part of the market, Blade and Timber has discovered a much broader appeal. “We’re seeing a huge influx of adult collectors,” explains the founder. “People who are passionate about miniatures as an art form, and who want to create incredibly detailed displays. They're building miniature rooms, miniature shops, even entire miniature towns. It’s a really creative outlet.” The company is also tapping into the growing “tiny living” movement. Miniature furniture is often used to create models of dream homes, or to visualize interior design ideas. Architects and interior designers are even using Blade and Timber’s pieces to create miniature prototypes for clients. “It's a surprisingly versatile hobby,” says one enthusiastic customer in an online review. “I’m building a miniature replica of my grandmother’s kitchen, and these pieces are absolutely perfect. The quality is amazing, and they really capture the feeling of the original.” What Sets Blade and Timber Apart? In a market flooded with mass-produced miniatures, Blade and Timber stands out for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Everything is handmade in their Kansas City workshop, using high-quality materials. They also offer a level of customization that’s rare in the industry. “We can create custom pieces to order,” explains the founder. “If someone wants a specific style of chair, or a particular fabric, we can usually make it happen. We love working with our customers to bring their visions to life.” The company also places a strong emphasis on realism. They meticulously research the styles and details of real furniture, ensuring that their miniature pieces are as accurate as possible. They pay attention to even the smallest details, such as the grain of the wood and the texture of the fabrics. A Growing Business with a Bright Future Blade and Timber LLC is still a relatively young company, but it’s already making a significant impact on the miniature world. Demand for their products is growing rapidly, and they’re constantly expanding their catalog to meet the needs of their customers. The company is actively engaged with the miniature community, attending shows and events, and connecting with collectors and creators online. They're also using social media to showcase their work and inspire others to get involved in the hobby. “We’re really passionate about what we do,” says the founder. “We love creating beautiful, detailed miniature furniture, and we love seeing how our customers use it to bring their own miniature worlds to life.” Where to Find Blade and Timber LLC’s Miniature Furniture: Currently, Blade and Timber primarily sells its miniature furniture through its website and at select craft shows.
