Compact toy butterfly house

About this model

A chunky toy butterfly house, not a copy of any real one. The house is a square white box. On its front and its back hangs a big black light box, almost as wide as the house: its face is a paper-cut meadow with two big butterflies, each sitting across the tops of two tulips, and a fringe of pointed grass at the foot. The wings have small lit windows. Inside each box a 2 m LED strip hides behind the tulip stems and the butterflies, and a 1 m strip behind the top band; they light the white wall behind the face, so at night the meadow glows and the butterflies stand black in it. On top sits the black lid with five slim vents on every side, lit from inside. Up to four laptop blades stand in a row in the house. Its walls are solid and the light boxes are glued on the outside of them, so from outside you never see a computer board, from any angle. Air comes in through the slatted vents in the plinth and leaves through the lid. You pick 2, 3 or 4 computers and the model stays the same size: 0.55 x 0.50 m, 80 cm tall. This is the second model with light boxes. Each face prints face down on a textured sheet, which gives it a matte finish. The light boxes stand 30 mm proud on the front and the back, so the model is 545 mm deep.
