Modular architecture with an avant-garde design

In 2009, Modular Projects launched a modular architecture product based on modular industrialized construction with a wooden structure for private homes, warehouses, penthouses, or extensions. This type of construction, common in the USA and many Northern European countries, allows construction in 120 days at a much lower cost than the traditional brick construction system, with unbeatable energy efficiency and a finish comparable to a luxury home.

With over 190 homes completed to date, these modular constructions are faster and easier to build (significantly reducing costs), and are made with safe, ecological, flexible, and functional materials, with much better thermal and acoustic performance than traditional construction.

Authors: gestalten & Muuto

About the authors

gestalten is a leading international publisher from Berlin, specializing in high-quality books on architecture, design, art, and contemporary culture. The publisher is known for its substantive depth and visually strong productions.

Muuto is a Danish design house that shapes a new generation of Scandinavian design. By collaborating with designers from around the world, Muuto creates interiors and objects where clarity, tactility, and emotional resonance come together. The brand not only designs products but also influences how we experience, use, and inhabit spaces.

In the world of art and illustration, simplicity is sometimes the highest form of complexity. No one embodied this principle better than Dick Bruna, the Dutch artist who conquered the world with a seemingly simple rabbit named Miffy.

Bruna's story is one of revolution – not with words or violence, but with lines and colors. Inspired by the great avant-gardists of his time – Braque, Picasso, Matisse, and Léger – he began to experiment with art that blurred the lines between childlike simplicity and profound design.

His method was almost philosophical: the fewer details, the more powerful the message. He reduced forms to their essence, used colors so bright and pure that they almost lived on the paper. And at the center of this artistic journey stood Miffy – more than a rabbit, an icon of Dutch design history.

'nijntje xxl miffy' is more than a book. It is a tribute, a profound exploration of Bruna's artistic universe. With almost 600 pages, it reveals the philosophy behind every line, every color choice, every seemingly simple form.

Publisher Komma and Mercis Publishing have created a collector's item – limited to only 1000 copies, numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Each book is a work of art in itself.

The most special detail? A specially designed book stand by Bob van Dijk, which takes the form of Bruna's famous cross – a small sculpture that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Bruna's art.

This book tells the story of a man who proved that art doesn't have to be complicated to be profound. A story of Miffy, but above all a story of Dick Bruna – the man who saw the world through the simplest, yet most powerful lines.
