Comments
Is there a house plan for the ideal house? From the picture, other than it is filled with iconic Mid-Century furniture, I havne't seen what makes the design of the house special.
Designers Joris Laarman, Steven Dietz, Dieter Rams and Astrid Krogh were invited to participate in this year's 'Ideal House'. I agree It's not really up there with his achievements at Braun. One can only imagine he's making a point fitting out the space with a few design classics in the context of a contemporary furniture fair.
