It didn’t just look like a UFO: the Futuro came, saw and captured the world’s attention only to disappear when the oil crisis came along. And now it’s back: very hip, very Finnish, surrounded by modern sounds. The archeology of an nutty architectural idea featuring Charles Wilp, Andy Warhol and other icons of the days when plastic still smelled like plastic.
