The diagonal redwood slats and geometric structure are wonderfully accentuated by the snow bank covering the backside of the cabin.

An Enzo Mari gorilla print hangs over the breakfast table, flanked by Erich Ginder fabric sconces. Overhead, a handful of Michael Anastassiades fixtures from The Future Perfect offers ample task lighting.

Although not too far off the road, this home looks tucked away in its pine grove. The corrugated steel roof and vertically oriented windows keep this design from looking too much like a quintessential cabin.

Enzo Mari: La Mela e La Pera – The Apple and The Pear Poster, $320 at the Dwell Store In the hands of celebrated Italian modernist Enzo Mari, simple household objects—an apple and a pear—become graphic works of art. Part of the Nature Series, the La Mela e La Pera poster is silkscreened and unframed. Each poster comes with two PVC bars for wall mounting. Originally designed in 1963, each poster is printed in Italy.

Chunky lumber chairs of Enzo Mari’s design surround a custom table that pivots 44 degrees. “The chairs fit the overall aesthetic of the room because they’re made out of an ordinary material and fastened together in a rugged way,” Damiani explains. Steel tie rods replaced the lowest rafters, allowing for better views of the ceiling.

Black-rimmed steel clerestory windows add illumination in this diminutive white kitchen where black accents abound. A black Aggregato Saliscendi Suspension light, designed by Enzo Mari and Giancarlo Fassina for Artemide, accents against the white Calacatta marble countertops and MAP's oak Milky Stools.

The kitchen includes backlit Bear Grass panels from 3form, a range by Capital, and a Thermador hood.

Amidst the brown natural tones of the surrounding cabins, this orange-red exterior pops. The contrasting charcoal trim and coordinated art in the window pull the whole thing together.

This collapsible bar, launched in the winter of 2010/2011, is an annual happening spanning December to February. The bar is lifted into place on the rooftop of the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, in the heart of Munich, every November. The construction is based on the idea of a mobile, modular polar station featuring the essential expedition boxes. These are arranged on the 120 sqm area and serve as compliments to the bar elements: barstools, tables, lights and heating poles, as well as serve as display cases for winter wear, cool drinks and giant bottles of Moët & Chandon. The expedition boxes further serve as carriers for the entirety of the bar and its equipment, so the party can be packed up as quickly as an astronaut blasting off from an Arctic getaway. In close collaboration with Italian fashion brand Stone Island, HANSANDFRANZ also designed the blankets and lounge cushions for the Polar Bar.

Big Ted Wooly Creature, $125 at the Dwell Store From Scottish designer Donna Wilson, the Big Ted Wooly Creature is a soft, sweet rendering of a bear. As Wilson indicates on her website, Big Ted loves cheese and pickle sandwiches and he dislikes shopping. The handmade creature is crafted from 100 percent lambswool and is stuffed with a soft polyester filling.

In an effort to create an abundance of light and air flow throughout the space, the home follows an L-shaped floor plan that wraps around outdoor areas. “We designed several open spaces, each with a different feel: the garden and pool, the terrace, and the back patio,” says Cesarman. “The idea was to reduce the area to the most basic and essential [elements].”
