KLM unveils 106th Delft Blue miniature house ‘Villa Rameau’

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines unveiled the latest addition to its Delft Blue miniature houses, presented to World Business Class customers, on October 7, the airline’s founding anniversary.

To mark its 106th anniversary, the 106th model features Villa Rameau, the parish house of Pieterskerk in Leiden’s old town. The English Puritans who moved from England to Leiden in the 17th century, influenced by the October 3 Festival held in the Netherlands, began celebrating the harvest—a custom they continued after they emigrated to America. The Villa Rameau building is now open to the public as the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum.

Since the 1950s, KLM has presented long-haul World Business Class passengers with miniature houses filled with Bols genever. Since 1994, when the size of the collection matched KLM’s founding year, a new design has been added every year on the anniversary.
