I have this dream of having a house with a long lush secluded garden. At the bottom of it there would be a little self contained home office. A serene space to work, write and create with just the sounds of the rustling trees and birdsong outside…
I think the Diogene Cabin fits the picture perfectly and would make an ideal home office and sanctuary.
Designed by architect Renzo Piano and RPBW for Vitra, Diogene is described as Vitra’s smallest building – but largest product.
Named after the classical Greek philosopher Diogenes, (who is said to have lived in a barrel and rejected worldly luxuries) it looks deceptively simple. But is in fact a fully self sufficient little minimalist house.
We collect objects that are beautiful, have meaning, stories or good memories associated with them. Or simply because they make us smile. Together as a group, with a common theme, they become a collection.
What do you do if you have limited space in your home, but a large selection of books? How can you make your interior appear streamlined and spacious, without downsizing your beloved collection?
