Pictures of the museum display at the Ethnologische Museum in Dahlem, Berlin. This collection will move to the Humboldt-Forum, the soon-to-be-reconstructed Berlin Palace (right next to the Museumsinsel). So visit this site soon so you can still see this great collection in its original, old fashioned set-up.

Le Cabanon :

"I have a chateau on the Côte d'Azur, it measures 3.66 x 3.66 m. 

It's for my wife, it's extravagant in comfort and kindness". 

This is how Le Corbusier described his Cabanon, built in 1952, 

according to the rules of harmonious measurements defined 

in the 'Modular'. He kept up the habit of 'summering' in his 

Cabanon at the seaside until the end of his life in 1965.

L'Etoile de Mer :
In 1947, Thomas Rebutato bought the small strip of land
next to Gray's Villa. At first he wanted a cabin that he could use
 for his fishing equipment and family picnic, later he transformed
 it into a bistro-restaurant. Le Corbusier painted the murals on
the facade and in the bedroom.

Les Unités de Camping :

In 1956, Le Corbusier built five holiday units for Rebutato. 

Each unit accommodates two people, is 8m² big and has a 

horizontal T-shaped window, framing the sea-facing landscape.
