Today, Kurt Thut is known above all for his straightforward design, which makes do with minimal use of materials. However, his architectural works are also perfectly proportioned and reduced to the essentials, such as the detached house in Begnins near Nyon above Lake Geneva. He designed this house for the Amstutz family in 1967; in the book Kurt Thut - Protagonist of Swiss Residential Culture, it is affectionately referred to as “the house above Lake Geneva”. It is a simple, well-designed building with an impressive panorama over Lake Geneva. In addition to the architecture, Thut also designed the interior and used his own design for the eight dining chairs. In combination with the matching marble table, the chairs form a harmonious arrangement and look like a flower-shaped composition when viewed from above.
