You know you have reached perfection of design not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away. --Antoine de Saint Exupéry

This coming from a man who hung with small blonde apparitions. We can all do with some paring down. But with the surge in small, even nano, devices, the concept of living in something tiny, portable and beautiful gets more achievable and less about denial. We don't know where the link to Tumbleweed Houses came from, but these houses (floorplan porn alert) give new dimension to the term cozy. The late 19th century aesthetic could use an update, but for that there's always Airstream's International Bambi . Bliss. We're still waiting for a realtime sighting of the Nissan Basecamp.
