TOYFARCE INTERVIEWS:

“STOP PUTTING TOYS IN THEM!”: AN INTERVIEW WITH SVEN IVAR DETOLF, THE INVENTOR OF THE DETOLF GLASS CABINET!

“With a glass-door cabinet, you can show off as well as protect your glassware or your favorite collection.” This is the official description of the Detolf glass cabinet on IKEA’s website. If you’re a toy collector, you’re most certainly familiar with those, as we’ve seen thousands of pictures of toy collection displayed in one or more Detolfs (Detolves?)

ToyFarce managed to get an exclusive interview with Sven Ivar Detolf, the inventor of the glass cabinet, and he had some sour words to say to all toy collectors!

ToyFarce: Hi Sven, and thank you so much for doing this interview with us.

Sven Ivar Detolf: Yes. Hi. (Reminder that Sven is Swedish, therefore has limited social skills)

ToyFarce: So, Sven, how did you come up with the idea of the Detolf glass cabinet?

Sven Ivar Detolf: Well, my wife had some nice bowls and vases that she kept in a cupboard, so we couldn’t see them. I asked her if she wanted a cupboard that would be made of glass, so that we could see the nice bowls and glassware, and she said yes. So, I invented it. Then, I gave it my name.

ToyFarce: Wow, that’s…a nice story? Anyway, how happy are you to know that to this day, your Detolf are still sought after, and even sometimes hard to find, because collectors worldwide are using them to display there most precious items?

Sven Ivar Detolf: I DON’T LIKE IT.

ToyFarce: Oh…?

Sven Ivar Detolf: It’s not what I designed it for! It’s made to display bowls, vases and other glassware. Stop putting toys in them! They’re not made for that. Have you seen the promotional pictures? There’s bowls and glassware in them! Nothing else! Maybe trophies, sometimes, but even that is already too much!

ToyFarce: But surely, you can appreciate that some people come up with some great displays, adding lights and backgrounds to show off their most precious items, no?

Sven Ivar Detolf: I don’t care! Get out of my house.

So… this didn’t go well. We haven’t heard of Sven Ivar Detolf since, but an anonymous source told us that it’s not a coincidence that some of our Detolf glass cabinet sometimes “accidentally explode” when we put toys in them. ToyFarce will investigate more on that!
