Time Travel (209)Take a look at Vitra, a company that's been producing furniture by top designers since the 1940s. Whether it's the sexy curves of Verner Panton or the minimalism of Jean Prouve, Vitra has encouraged experimentation while keeping the modern classics alive.
After that, pay a visit to the Seattle Public Library, a building that's making bookworms of an entire city. Dutch Architect Rem Koolhaas, along with his firm OMA, built this exciting structure that has been called the "future of libraries."
