House Hop with Thorne Room Virtual Backgrounds
While we all continue to stay home to stay safe, the familiar can become, well, a little too familiar. Whether you are working remotely or social distancing from family and friends, remodel your virtual background on your favorite video conferencing app with one of our Thorne Miniature Rooms. Because let’s be real—we could all use a change of scenery through time and place!
Download the images below and follow linked instructions to set various rooms from the PhxArt Collection as your background on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Snap Camera.
PhxArt fan favorites, the Thorne Rooms represent a fascinating world in miniature. Created at an exacting scale of one inch to one foot, several of the rooms replicate actual spaces found in the United States and Europe, while the remainder were inspired by the architecture and interior design of their respective periods and countries. These rooms were conceived, designed, and, in large part, crafted by Indiana native Narcissa Niblack Thorne (1882-1966), who began to collect miniature furniture and household accessories during her travels to England and Asia shortly after the turn of the 20th century.
