It captures the experimental forms, new materials and optimistic ideas of the space-age architecture and design of the late 1960s. The WeeGee Exhibition Centre in Finand has acquired the first ever mass-produced Futuro, restored it and opens it to the public from May to September.

| | Welcome Brummel House in Pilsen ! | The unspectacular grey villa, located closely to the Pilsen bus station, hides an architectonical jewel inside. The interior of Brummel house is a radiating colourful oasis where you can easily forget about the surrounding world. The house and interior of the 2nd floor was designed in 1928-29 for the Brummel family by Adolf Loos in cooperation with his assistant Karel Lhota.
