When Rob and Mary Lubera started pulling threads to uncover the origins of their new home—the lone midcentury house amid rows of Tudor Revivals in suburban Detroit—not even architecture scholars could have anticipated what they would find. Theirs is the last surviving residence by Alexander Girard (1907–1993), a modernist visionary who made his name in textiles but tried his hand at virtually everything, architecture included. The shoji-like laminate screens, seen  in the entryway, are characteristic of his Japanese-influenced work.

Design blog afficianados will recognize this bentwood-and-metal stool by Italian designer Giorgio Biscaro. Offset, as it's called, is no less impressive in person, and though it comes in black and white, bright yellow is definitely my favorite.
