Langhytta.

Oslo-based studio Fjord Arkitekter’s contemporary take on the traditional Norwegian hytte is rooted in both simplicity and sustainability. Its exterior is clad in pine treated in the MøreRoyal style, a method that involves vacuum-cooking the wood in oil. The approach allows the residence to blend into the landscape without requiring much maintenance or any chemical weatherproofing treatments to maintain its rustic appearance. Oiled spruce walls and ceilings create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while a central sculptural staircase divides the building into zones.

Bürgenstock Resort.

Sitting 500 meters above Lake Lucerne, Bürgenstock Resort is a melding of altitude, brutalist design, and luxury. Take a cliff-edge hike with jaw-dropping views, test your limits at a parkour rope park on top of Mount Pilatus, or work alongside chefs in their culinary masterclass. Then, unwind in the Alpine Spa with breathtaking views of the surrounding lakes and mountains.

The Rowac-Schemel.

An industrial icon has returned to production; The Rowac-Schemel. Designed and manufactured shortly after the turn of the last century, this stool became a stalwart of German industrial and institutional furniture. Due to its durability and utilitarian construction, it was widely used by factories and schools throughout Germany– famously it was chosen by Walter Gropius to be used throughout the Bauhaus school, where it became an integral and revered part of student life.
