I Built A Tiny Model Of Monica’s Kitchen From “Friends” (11 Pics)
I was asked to take part in an art show a few years ago and figured it would be a nice challenge to recreate the set of “Friends.” It was made using 100% recycled paper products and painted in acrylic. Everything you see was hand-cut using an 18mm box cutter and a ruler. Nothing is pre-built or repurposed from anything else. It might not be perfectly to scale, but I was going off just a couple of screenshots.

Monica’s kitchen
This was my first step: laying out space and fudging the dimensions to how I wanted it
Here you can see the rough-ins for the cabinets
Making the little fridge magnets was probably my favorite part
That blue color mixed perfectly
All the furniture was handmade (hand for scale)
The rough build of the table with a stubby pencil for scale
Different angle for the sink window that shows off the custom-painted curtains
The notorious post and beam… Only really used for the first few episodes of the first season because the cast kept running into it
Kitchen cupbards set dressed and looking great!
And of course, this wouldn’t be complete without the classic frame on the door!

Share on FacebookHow did you make the objects? It doesn't look like paper. I've always wanted to do something like this but never knew how to make tiny 3D things. I'd love some sort of tutorial. Or is it a trade secret? ;)
I use a mix of different paper products. Cardboard, matte board, and different thicknesses of paper. It's no trade secret, more of a learned skill. And in saying that, everyone works differently with the same materials, so it's more of an exploratory art.
