History & Updates
We received a great set of recent photos of his families Futuro from Nikolai Jelstrup the other day. Several of them are shown below — we particularly like the night time shot. Nikolai — thanks so much for sending these over!
Ole Rosén-Lystrup, one of the team that updated this Futuro back in 2019 for an episode of the TV show Eventyrlig Oppussing recently revisited the Futuro and kindly sent us a great collection of photos he took during that visit; thanks Ole!
We have included a selection of the photos below. Notable in the photo set is the exterior mood lighting that can be set to different colors that is just too cool and lends an aura to the location that at times is almost surreal and shots of the rarely seen
As a follow up to previous communications Eventyrlig Oppussing team member Ole Rosén-Lystrup recently sent us a link to an awesome 3D look at this Futuro and its immediate surroundings; you can check it out here.
The episode of the Norwegian TV Station TV3 show Eventyrlig Oppussing that featured the makeover of this Futuro has now aired. The show, season 5 episode 3 of the series, aired 092619. A preview for the show, that presumably aired on the station ahead of the broadcast, was posted to Instagram by team member Ole Rosén-Lystrup and can be seen below left and a second video, below right, was posted to the shows Facebook page.
Interesting to note that the black finish was not accomplished by the use
It seems that the update to this Futuro was a project undertaken by a Norwegian TV Show. Julie, a member of the owner’s family, contacted us to let us know that the show Eventyrlig Oppussing or, according to Google Translate «Adventurous Renovation» which is broadcast by the Norwegian station TV3, would broadcast an episode featuring the Futuro sometime around mid-September.
The TV show is self-described in this manner:
«… interior expert Halvor Bakke and his carpenter team take you to the
All Futuros are «bad-ass», but some Futuros are more «bad-ass» than others!
That thought, a «tweak» to an iconic quote from Orwell’s classic allegorical work «Animal Farm», was the first thought that entered our heads when we caught sight of the stunning new look being sported by this Futuro.
In May of this year the owners of this Futuro made changes and the result is awesome; we do not recall seeing a Futuro finished in black previously and now we have it has immediately become one our favori
Anyone who visits this website might conclude we are, to say the least, enthusiastic and passionate about the Futuro; others might suggest we are perhaps a little obsessive. Cannot really argue with any of that but we are not alone. Yves Buysse recently posted this photo to Facebook; the post was accompanied by the following note:
«5 days, 5 countries, 2636 km by car, 8 hours boat and 50 km on bicycle to see this … in Norway.»
That’s dedication! Sounds like a fun trip. Thanks for sharing the
This is one of the less photographed Futuros and we do not recall seeing many, if any, interior shots so it was very interesting to see this pair of photos posted to Instagram by niko_jel on 082518. From the little that can be seen it appears that the Futuro retains at least some of the original interior fixtures and fittings and that it is in excellent condition.
Lars Krog shot two of our favorite photographs of this Futuro on 080213 They are displayed below with Lars’ permission.
In a blog post that can be found here (Norwegian | Google translation to English here) we find shots of an article published in the 120211 issue of D2 Magazine. The article, titled «Tilbake Til Fremtiden» (which Google translates to «Back To The Future»), was written by Elisabeth Sperre Alnes.
Being the Futuro obsessives you all know us to be we had to write to the magazine’s publisher, Oslo based Norwegian daily newspaper Dagens Næringsliv, which distributes the weekly lifestyle magazine D2 fr
Other than photographs there seems to be very little information floating about on this Futuro House. It features on the «Norway» page on FuturoHouse.com, one of the longest running Fururo sites, where there are some additional photographs and also directions to the location from T.A. Nyquist but that is about all we have been able to find so if you happen to have any additional information please let us know.
As for the above referenced photographs there are two great images (and at the time o
