Willy Guhl (1915–2004) was an ingenious creator of seating, widely admired in Switzerland and far beyond its borders. He created his most famous chair in 1954 from a long, fiber-cement strip that he formed into a loop. In 1995, in a redesign, he adapted the form to the conditions of contemporary production.
The Hidden Valley Desert House, which was built by Wendell Burnette Architects in Cave Creek, Arizona, is an unusual house. Southwardly oriented on a slope in a desert landscape, the house nonetheless offers a view out to all sides. It allows the borders of inside and outside to blur. mh
