What does Curious Rabbit make?

Curious Rabbit creates laser-cut wooden model kits, ready-made miniatures, ornaments and decorative gifts. The range includes designs inspired by gardens, railways, architecture, British icons, vintage objects, seasonal décor and more. Some products are supplied as flatpack kits for you to build yourself, while others are available ready-made for immediate display. The focus is on detailed design, characterful subjects and thoughtful pieces for adult makers, collectors, hobbyists, home décor lovers and gift-buyers.

What is the difference between a flatpack kit and a ready-made model?

A flatpack kit is supplied as laser-cut pieces for you to assemble, usually using glue for a more traditional and rewarding model-making experience. It is a good choice if you enjoy building, painting, customising or adding your own finish. A ready-made model is already assembled, so it can be displayed straight away with no building required. Curious Rabbit offers both options across many designs, making it easier to choose between a hands-on craft project and a finished decorative piece.

Do Curious Rabbit flatpack kits need glue?

Yes. Curious Rabbit flatpack kits are designed for traditional glue assembly rather than simply clipping together. This gives the build a more hands-on, model-making feel and helps create a stronger finished piece when assembled carefully. For the best result, dry-fit the parts first, apply glue sparingly, and let each section set before handling the model too much. Many makers also choose to paint or lightly finish their kit to add extra detail and personality.

Are Curious Rabbit products suitable as gifts?

Yes. Curious Rabbit products are well suited to thoughtful gifting because they are more distinctive than standard mass-produced presents. Flatpack kits work well for people who enjoy making, modelling, painting or crafting, while ready-made models are better for someone who would prefer a finished piece to display. The collections cover interests such as gardening, railways, architecture, vintage objects, Welsh designs, British icons and Christmas decorations, making it easier to choose something personal to the recipient.

Can Curious Rabbit models be painted or customised?

Many Curious Rabbit flatpack kits can be painted, stained or decorated to create a more personal finish. Painting larger pieces before assembly can make some areas easier to cover, while smaller details and edges can often be touched up afterwards. A light sanding may help where a tab feels tight, but the parts should not be forced. Ready-made models can sometimes be customised too, although flatpack kits are usually the better choice if you want full control over colours, finish and detail.

Where are Curious Rabbit products made?

Curious Rabbit is based in Abergavenny, Wales, and has been creating laser-cut products since 2019. The brand is run by a father-and-son team and focuses on detailed wooden model kits, ready-made miniatures and decorative gifts with a distinctive British character. The products are designed to feel personal, collectable and display-worthy, whether you choose a kit to build yourself or a ready-made piece for your home, desk, shelf or seasonal décor.

What does “functional design” mean at Curious Rabbit?

Functional design means many Curious Rabbit pieces are created to be more than decorative objects. Some models can also work as small storage boxes, planters, lighting pieces, coasters or display items, depending on the design. The aim is to combine characterful laser-cut detail with a practical use or display purpose, so the finished piece feels rewarding to build, give or keep. Product pages explain the specific function of each item where relevant, so shoppers can choose the design that best suits their space.
