Futuro House (no. 001)

The Futuro is a plastic house designed by architect Matti Suuronen (1933–2013). Elliptical in shape, the house captures the experimental forms, new materials and optimistic ideas of the space-age architecture and design of the late 1960s.

The Exhibition Centre WeeGee has acquired the first ever mass-produced Futuro house (no. 001), which was owned by Matti Kuusla from summer 1968 to autumn 2011 and located in Hirvensalmi in Finland. After being carefully restored, the house opened in WeeGee’s yard in 2012. The Futuro house is open to public from mid-May to mid-September during WeeGee’s regular opening hours.
