Heard from swiss miss about Knoll's new furniture line: the Modern classics scaled to small children! Here. – GF

Heads Up!

Seen on a few sites like materialicious and Trendir a little while ago, I can't help myself and must post something about the Zufferey house by Nunatak Architectes here on Modern. The photo of the house with the backdrop of the mountain whose shape it mimics is staggering. And the green underside . . . Oh my! I love how it looks as if it dropped from the sky and just sort of stuck there in the vineyard and grew roots. – GF
