The one where the student had too much time: Graduate spends TWO YEARS recreating Friends apartment in miniature
- Bruna Conforto, 23, started making the model as a student
- Now, two years later, she has graduated and finished it
- It includes miniature candles, magazines and even picture frames
It was the biggest apartment that everyone on the show wanted to live in, but now the classic home of Monica and Rachel from Friends has been recreated in miniature.
The amazing model was put together by unemployed graduate and die-hard Friends fan Bruna Conforto, 23, after she became interested in miniatures and design.
'Friends is one of my favourite TV shows and like any fan, I'd like to live in an apartment like Monica's,' said Bruna, of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The one with the tiny apartment: The famous set from Friends has been made into a model by an avid fan
Accurate: The model captures everything from the apartment in the lights on the wall to the pattern on the curtains
Spare time: It took Conforto two years to finish the model, including painting designs on to book covers
Classic: The set played host to classic scenes such as many arguments between Ross and Rachel
Labour of love: It took the unemployed student two years of work to create the masterpiece
'As this is not possible, I decided to make my own using only paper, glue and ink. I researched several photos, watched several videos, watching every detail.
'First I reproduced the furniture and then I started on the rest of the apartment.' Measuring at 50cm x 40cm and only 14cm tall, it was a labour of love that took almost two years for Bruna to complete.
Iconic: The kitchen where Monica spent most of her time cooking comes complete with pans and plates
Long gone: The kitchen - along with the rest of the set - was last seen in 2004 when the final episode aired
Detailed: Conforto painted the front door its signature shade of purple and even replicated the poster next to it
Famous: The front door was used in many scenes and was eventually broken down by Phoebe and Joey
From tiny photographs of Monica and Chandler on their wedding day, to the pictures hanging on the walls, the amazing replica features even the smallest of the details.
Bruna explained: 'I had never made a model before so it was a bit difficult at the beginning, and the material didn't help, it is not very easy to make small objects with just paper and glue.
'Another factor that made the whole process even longer was that when I started the model I was working and studying and I only had Sundays free.
Nothing overlooked: The balcony which saw Rachel and Ross kiss and Phoebe drop everyone's
lottery tickets also features in the design
'Some people think it's crazy, but most people is impressed with the amount of detail and because is made only of paper.
'I believe that you can create anything you want with the material that you have in home.
'The apartment was made with material that would go to the trash.'
