Inspired by the miniature house of little Arriety in the Ghibli movie of the same name, this tiny home features furniture crafted from repurposed items scavenged from the human world. As a result, you’ll find intricately handmade miniatures alongside unusually oversized pieces, like a fireplace made from a ceramic flowerpot.

The Story of Arriety’s Tiny House

In a miniature world unknown to humans, a forgotten little house lies beneath the basement of an old mansion. This is the home of Arriety and her tiny three-member family.

Every item in the house is a giant object from the outside world, collected by Arriety and her father on their many adventures. The house is filled with flowers and leaves Arriety brought back from her travels, giving the space a warm, wooden charm, lush greenery, and a free-spirited atmosphere—just like the nomadic life of the little people.
