History & Updates

Update 110721

We came across this photo of this Futuro from one of its «past lives» on Instagram recently. The photo dates from 2007 when this Futuro was exhibited as part of an exhibition at the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art (known as MUDAM) in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. The exhibition was titled «Tomorrow Now — When Design Meets Science Fiction» and it ran from 052507 to 092407.

The original of the photo, by @nientedolcee, can be found on Instagram here.

Update 080320

This is one of the lesser photographed Futuros and so it is always great to see new photos. Here we have two recent photos by owner Dakis Joannou. We particularly like the «twilight» shot through the trees. Thanks for sharing them Dakis!

Update 060420

Owner Dakis Joannou sent us this photo back in March; we intended to share it at the time but it slipped our mind for a while — now here it is.

What is so cool about the photo is that it is a shot from inside the Venetian House on Dakis’ estate in which we can see the «Futuro World» poster (which of course includes this Futuro) and also, through the window, the actual Futuro itself, Dakis; thanks so much for sharing this very interesting photo.

Update 071319

Owner Dakis Joannou recently posted these great photos of his Futuro on Instagram. We particularly like the interior shot, the first we have seen (or at least the first recall seeing), and the simplicity of the space it so clearly illustrates; we imagine it is very «peaceful».

Update 090218

Owner Dakis Joannou recently posted this great shot of his Futuro at dusk to his Instagram account donkey301239.

Update 072917

We have not seen a whole lot of photos of this Futuro but we did come across a couple of photos on Instagram recently. The first photo is by donkey301239 (aka owner Dakis Joannou) and the second is by sophiadelachouvel. The original photos can be found on Instagram here and here.

Update 040514

We were looking back at various photographs, emails and other items this week relating to, among other things, the history of this unit and in particular the theory that this was in fact the unit previously located at 10 Pastoor Lambertzdreef, 3150 Haacht, Belgium.

This theory had been suggested to us several times in the past and after looking over everything this past week we have concluded that the evidence does indeed suggest that this Futuro was in Belgium, then exhibited at MUDAM and then

Update 030814

We received an email this week from Dakis Joannou in which he sent us two photos of his Limni Futuro. The photos are displayed below — thanks Dakis. We had always been of the opinion, based on timing and various photographs we had seen, that this Futuro was in fact the one sold at a Christies auction on 112707 but we were not sure. One of the photographs we received this week from Dakis however made us certain that this was the case.

The catalogue for the Christie’s auction tells us that the sp

We came across this image a few days ago on Tumblr posted by Alara Orhon on her blog Souvenirs. To be honest when we first looked at the photograph we wondered if it was photo-shopped and we even wondered if it was actually a photograph at all; to be honest we still look at it and find it just a little odd somehow but it piqued our interest and the search was on. Alara’s post is tagged with, among others, «dakis joannou, futuro house, corfu» and those tags were something to start the search with
