These pics come from World of Interiors, really an undervalued gem among shelter mags. This is a cabin in a remote part of Uruguay built by the chef Francis Mallmann. I've never had any desire to live in the middle of nowhere (with no electricity at that!) but Mallman's decor is stunning. It's cozy and rustic, but also clean and modern, with pride of place for books. Pretty much perfect.

from The World of Interiors, January 2009. More amazing pics in the magazine.
