2015
by Robert Sabuda
2015. This is a very hard-to-find complete seven-piece set of illuminated Winter Wonderland pop-up table decorations created by paper engineer, Robert Sabuda, in 2015 and sold through UWP [Up with Paper] LUXE. Long out of print. None of the seven have ever been assembled.
Each comes with an electric tea light for internal illumination. I am not sure if they still work; because Wendy Sabuda, Robert's sister, told me that the original lights on her set needed to be replaced with similar lights that were readily available online.
All are still in their original sealed boxes; two of the four sealing stickers on one of the boxes have loosened.
The pop-ups included in the set are the: Holiday Toy Store, Holiday Bakery, Holiday Schoolhouse, Holiday Cottage, Holiday Chapel, Holiday Trees, and Horses and Carriages.
The two promotional blurbs on the box read:
"UWP LUXE is pleased to present this collaboration with the renowned paper engineer and the New York Times best-selling pop-up creator, Robert Sauda. Together we are looking forward to bringing you the highest level of pop-up stationery for all your gift and home needs."
"The holidays have always been a special time for me. I grew up in the Midwest and remember with great fondness glistening snow blanketing the fields and trees. My love of seeing the world covered with white has greatly influenced my work, and now I'm sharing that passion with you. Happy Holidays! Robert Sabuda" . Despite their mutual hope for future collaborations, other than a set of wedding invitations, that never happened, and there was never a second printing of Sabuda's llume Winter Wonderland village.
Scarce. At the time of listing, none of the seven pieces from this set are for sale in the trade. None have appeared at auction per the Rare Book Hub, and OCLC shows none are held by institutions. Individual used pieces occasionally turn up on , however when they do, they usually have some damage. . (Inventory #: 010288)
