Discover the deeply romantic allure of Nina Freudenberger’s new book, Mountain House. Experience breathtaking homes captured in the cool, snowy expanses of winter, from cliffside manses to cozy log cabins. Delight in the interiors, the visual epitome of hygge, and indulge in escapist fantasies in faraway settings. “There is something about the sheer fact of distance and the incredible beauty of these landscapes that can put the perspective the endless beeping and buzzing of our devices. In a world this big, nothing is quite so urgent,” Fredenberger writes.
Embark on a journey through the pages of this stunning coffee table book, featuring remote residences from the Austrian region of Tyrol to the Atlas Mountains. Explore homes with well-known names attached to them, such as the late, great French modernist Charlotte Perriand’s design in Méribel, and the Patagonian home of Michelin-starred chef Francis Mallmann. Dive into an expansive spread dedicated to the childhood home of Not Vital in Sent, Switzerland—which now serves as his artistic retreat. “Nature, the surroundings, the language—we speak Romansh, a language that not even one percent of the Swiss population speaks, so I had to come back to use my mother tongue,” Vital says.
Experience the allure of Mountain House, and escape into places where staying awhile seems like the most natural, desirable thing in the world.
