This is more inspiration for today's "Small House Movement" and for the "Life is Good despite the Economy" crowd. Various exhibitions are being shown this spring in London showcasing the Bauhaus architect Le Corbusier's work. The most intriguing is a replica of the simple yet charming vacation house Cabanon, on a rocky coastal cliff that he presented to his wife as a gift - showing at the Royal Institute of British Architects. Cabanon is truly what I would call a vacation house, where the view is everything. Easy to maintain, it has no kitchen - only a door to the restaurant next door. The replica is sponsored by the Italian furniture maker Cassina, who holds access to all Le Corbusier's furniture designs, sketches and prototypes. LUXURYCULTURE.COM has all the facts in case you are in London this spring and gorgeous photographs in case you can't be there. (The photo show above is from Wikipedia.com by Berthold Werner)
