Play shops and Caravan
The Sio Collection of the time before Rokus started working for Sio, contained some shops. These were 'traditional' shops with drawers where anything could be put, a counter and a small window. The shops were just like the garages of that time made of lacquered wood with many small parts which were labour-intensive to produce.
The first design by Rokus and Corry, a Boutique, dates from 1977. From that time they design some shops and a caravan, made for dolls like Barbie or Sindy.

First sketches with ideas for three shops; a Flower Shop, a Grocery shp and a boutique. The shops were made with the same elements, the background drawings by Corry were different.
