Le Corbusier at MoMA and Weisshouse

Dezeen Magazine posted an article on January 30th featuring the major retrospective of the work of architect, Le Corbusier. The retrospective is set to open at the Museum of Modern Art in June. According to Dezeen, "Entitled Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscapes, the exhibition will feature the architecture, design, art, photography and writings of the French architect, with a focus on the different places, buildings and landscapes he visited and imagined throughout his life and career."

Tufty Time: A Modern Icon

We recently featured B&B Italia's "Tufty Time" design in our "New Hollywood Glam" blog post. Weisshouse is B&B Italia's exclusive dealer in Pittsburgh and we happen to adore the Tufty Time sectional sofa designed in 2005 by award-winning designer, Patricia Urquiola. See Tufty Time here featured in one of our design projects. Tufty Time is so versatile and truly has become a modern icon of style among architects and interior designers. Available in fabric or leather, Tufty Time can be ordered at Weisshouse.

The Leather Trend

We have blogged in the past about furniture and fashion and how current trends tend to spill over into both of those worlds. Jennifer Lopez appeared on "Katie" this week rocking a black, leather jumpsuit. We are seeing a lot of leather this season in both fashion and furniture and we wanted to showcase a few of our new favorite modern leather pieces for the home. Leather is often thought of as durable, timeless and at times, masculine. There's nothing like an old leather chair that's worn and comfortable. Vintage leather can also be just as inviting if it's in good condition. Stop by Weisshouse to find your favorite leather sofa, chair or bed.
