This Futuro, originally designed in 1968 by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, was trucked from its previous home in Wisconsin. Then it was gutted, painted, furnished, and is now rented out to glampers. Its owners claim that it has "a creative and positive energy," although probably not enough to launch it into space.
