I keep a scrap book with articles of houses and interiors that I like. One of the houses I have in there is Finnish designer Eero Aarnio's. If you're not already familiar with the name, he is the designer behind such classics as the Ball Chair (1963), Tomato (1971), Pastillo (1968), Puppy (2005) and Double Bubble lamp (2001). Aarnio is regarded as one of the great innovators of modern furniture design, experimenting with plastics and bright colors in his furniture pieces. He's represented in some of the world's most prestigious museums (naturally :-).
I particularly like the bright, light feel of this house, all the built-in bookshelves and the touches of bright colors.

Oh wow! It's wonderfully light and bright. I especially love the office area, being linked so beautifully with the outdoors. And what a view!
Oh yes - and walls full of books - wonderful!
Love the workplace!
love it, although if that was my pad it would be covered in dog poop, cat hair and cluttered wit kid what-have-you.
wow, beautiful!
