Tunnel Books

Tunnel books are enchanting 3D dioramas that transport viewers into miniature, whimsical realms. By layering intricate panels between accordion-style sides, these structures create a striking sense of depth and perspective. While they originated in the 18th century as a way to commemorate grand theatres and historic landmarks, they remain a captivating medium for storytelling today.

Putz (glitter) Houses

Putz houses are miniature cardboard Christmas village buildings, often covered in glitter and faux snow, that originated in Germany in the early 1700s. (The word "putzen" means to decorate in German.) Popularized in the 1920s–50s, particularly by Japanese manufacturers, they were designed to create cozy, illuminated scenes under the tree or on mantelpieces.
