EXCLUSIVE GIFT FOR THE FIRST 1000 PIECES

Long before Rivendell was ever built, it was painted. This concept art first gave the hidden valley its form and its golden light, the vision from which the Rivendell would rise.

Now, from the original concept art of Paul Lasaine, the visual effects art director who helped bring Middle-earth to the screen for The Lord of the Rings, we present this limited edition art print.

Pre-order quickly to receive this exclusive gift with your Rivendell environment. Available through the Weta Workshop online store, Weta Caves, or with participating retailers.

THE LAST HOMELY HOUSE, MADE ANEW

Fifteen years ago, we built a Rivendell environment that found a home with collectors all over the world. It went out of production a long since, but demand never faded. You kept asking, so we decided to bring it back: but better.

REBUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

The original molds were long past saving. We tried to create a 3D scan, hoping to carry the old work forward, but the details fell short. Rather than compromise, we started from scratch and set out to create the finest Rivendell we possibly could.

What followed was extensive research and patient exploration of modern manufacturing, testing every technique available to us. The result is larger and more faithful than anything we have attempted before. More of the surrounding mountains are here. The landscape and waterways follow the films more closely than ever, while the architectural detailing reaches a level of fidelity we believe is the most exact achievable at this scale.

This version also includes the courtyard where the Council of Elrond took place, the ground on which the Fellowship is formed, and the fate of the Ring is decided. This location has never before been physically realised within the wider Rivendell location, and great care was taken to ensure its accurate placement. On screen, the valley was never given one fixed layout; it changed from shot to shot to serve the story. To ground our version, we followed one of the early sweeping wide shots that reveals Rivendell in full.

This piece took us back to our roots; to the pursuit of doing something well and striving for excellence. We hope you find it worthy of a place in your collection.

Beneath the sheltering arms of a vast mountain range, where clear waters flow over bright stones, there lies a hidden vale of natural grace. Rivendell endures there, a refuge untouched by the weariness of the world, where time seems to linger. Here, the burdens of the road are set aside, and even the most troubled heart finds a measure of peace.
