Furniture Fashion has sung the praises of a "less is more" design concept for a long time, and here is the home to surround the furniture we usually talk about. The Ring House by TNA Architects of Japan has a wide open theme with segmented rings as the main structure. The Ring House was designed as a retreat with a 360 degree view of the forest which meant planning the rings and windows at heights that would allow visual access to the outside, as well as hiding undesirable utilitarian features. Take note of the Hans Wegner Wishbone Chair which is one of my favorites and a great choice for a minimalist contemporary décor.
