HuffPost reports on a public exhibition of The Futuro House. Designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen’s Futuro House was created in the late 1960s. The prefab ‘kit’ style home was designed to be highly portable. First presented at an October 1968 fair in London, it met with considerable public interest. The manufacturer, Polykem, built perhaps 50-100. Production ceased in 1973, due to the oil crisis at that time, as part of the component material was petroleum based. Artists, celebrities and advertising firms have used the home off and on since. German advertising and artist Charles Wilp put a Futuro on the roof of his home. Wilp’s guests to the rooftop Futuro included Andy Warhol, Joseph Beuys, Yves Klein and Mel Ramos.
