Thought your kitchen in Tokyo was small? Kirin has redefined the idea of a “miniature kitchen,” with these mini creations 1/48th the scale of real life and a refrigerator tinier than your ten yen coin.
In a brilliant effort to promote their new sparkling waters, Kirin created videos and full 3D scenes small enough to fit in a plastic bottle, as part of the “Sekai no Kitchen Kara” (from the world’s kitchen) series.
The first video, featuring a woman walking through the streets of Morocco, was created using 3D miniature figures with an iPhone scene as the backdrop. Six miniature figures for one character were created to depict them walking, and each figure was made using 3D printers. Around 200 figures were created for the making of the video.
