| Place of origin |
The Jennys Home modular dolls' house system was produced in the 1960s in conjunction with Homes & Gardens Magazine. Made by Tri-ang, the individual sets allowed young girls to slowly build up a collection of rooms and funiture to create almost any design of their choice. A system that could be turned from an apartment block to a bed-sit, Jennys Home was a highly flexible, modern toy that helped to inspire future home makers.
This particular set of bathroom furniture provides a good example of a modular fitted bathroom which was popular in the 1960s. With all the pieces reflecting contemporary design, the brightly coloured and functional items provide an insight into interior design of the era.
