Swoopy chair



I've never been a huge fan of these kind of chairs. Those made of plastic tend to look a bit too glossy and uncomfortable. I love modern but they look toooo modern and 70s pop-glam for my taste.

I could live with this one though. It's wood so there's a limit to its glam. And I love the curvature, giving it some human contours. I don't think it's something I would have in my home – not a small one at least – but I appreciate the design.

Minimalist kitchen


Supposedly this is a minimalist kitchen. I guess it is in that the forms are highly simplified. It looks interesting but I don't think it's something I would take on. But it's noteworthy.

Weehouse


A more modernist take on prefab/minimalist dwellings. I definitely dig. The design is called the
Weehouse. They have a 'one box' for $65k but that seems only suitable for an office. A proper 1BR at 672 sq ft is $125k. You can add boxes to make larger and larger dwellings.

UPDATE: I laughed at this entry today [Sunday] because on the one hand, I'm extolling the virtues of a space roughly 100 sq ft yet I sneered at the 350 sq ft 'one box' studio. Old habits are hard to break.
