Speaking of Sweden, check out the awesome Villa Spies designed by Staffan Berglund.
Designed for Simon Spies (pronounced spees) by architect Staffan Berglund, this is a building to match the Joe Colombo and Eero Aarnio chairs it was furnished with - curved rather than a grid. At the press of a button, Jetsons style, the central table and chairs rise into the ceiling, while a dining table rises up from the kitchen below. At the press of another button, slides can be projected onto the walls or the colour of the room can be changed via lighting control - an idea that has only recently reappeared in interior design. Another place where - more trivially - Villa Spies was ahead of its time - a specially made, completely transparent bathroom sink - now a contemporary design cliché.
