DESCRIPTION

Wētā Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again; contributing design, specialty props, and specialty costumes to the epic trilogy that was The Hobbit.

This gorgeous little environment is an exacting miniature replica of the movie set that can be visited at Hobbiton in Matamata, New Zealand. It was designed by the same artists and craftspeople who worked on the movie.

In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole. It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Bright round doors in summery hues dot the lush, grassy hillsides of Hobbiton like wildflowers. Behind each doorway, comfortably appointed burrows wind into earth: each one home to a hobbit, or a family of the Shire’s rosy-cheeked little-folk.

Every hobbit-hole is unique, expressing the personality of its inhabitants with color, prettily adorned gardens, furniture, and the rustic debris of everyday life.

In hues of soft butter, this dwelling stands apart from its neighbors on the southern edge of Hobbiton, its peaceful air disturbed only by the rare passing cries of a Baggins setting forth on some grand adventure.

“Because of the relationship we have with all the production parts of the process, we access to everything from concept drawings to set plans, which is really handy when making things like Hobbit Holes.”

- Leonard Ellis – Sculptor & Model Maker, Wētā Workshop
