1973 / Homemaker / Furniture

LEGO Homemaker was a theme introduced in 1971 designed to appeal primarily to girls and centered on domestic and suburban life-based settings. The larger of the Homemaker sets could be assembled to build complete room settings of a house, including a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedrooms while smaller sets could build models of other household fixtures. The sets are known for using Homemaker figures built using standard LEGO bricks.

1973 LEGO Sets

In 1973, LEGO released several new sets and themes, including the LEGO Town theme, which introduced the first minifigures with movable arms and legs. This was a major innovation for LEGO, as it allowed for much more realistic and detailed play scenarios. 1973 was also the year that LEGO introduced the LEGO DUPLO line. In addition to these new products, 1973 saw the release of several other popular LEGO sets and themes, such as the LEGO Castle theme and the LEGO Space theme. These sets, along with the new minifigures and DUPLO bricks, helped to cement LEGO's position as one of the leading toy brands in the world.
