KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has unveiled a new addition to its collection of miniature Delft houses, presented to World Business Class passengers, on its founding anniversary, October 7th.
The model for the 105th new piece, commemorating the 105th anniversary, is Amsterdam’s ‘Three Canal Houses’. This house, located in the city center and built in 1610, got its name from its unique location at the intersection of three canals and is now designated as a national historic site in the Netherlands. After undergoing several renovations from the 17th to the early 20th century, the building was fully restored to its 17th-century state by architect Jan de Meyer.
Since the 1950s, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has been presenting miniature houses filled with Bols Geneva gin to its World Business Class passengers on long-haul flights. Since 1994, when the number of collections matched the founding year, a new house has been added to the collection each year on the anniversary of the founding.
