A run-down 1960s cabin in the Swiss Jura Mountains, a gateway to skiing, has been given a smart, playful overhaul by the architecture studio Frundgallina. Carved into four distinct sections, it’s a spiral playground that mingles different heights and thresholds.

One of their favorite pieces is the dining nook banquette. “We both grew up in Germany,” explains Hoeller, “where wraparound seating areas around the dining or kitchen table are common.”

The Solo chairs in the dining area are by Studio Nitzan Cohen.

An arc motif is a recurring theme throughout the kitchen's design.

Slash Objects, a brand known for its creative approach to recycled materials, joined forces with fellow Brooklyn design office Studio Proba for a series of quirky floor mats. We love the terrazzo-like texture and the funky organic shapes, made from post-consumer rubber (shown here in Tera). Put it in front of your sink or use it as a fancy pet food mat.
