Remember that bullet-pocked Jean Prouvé prefab masterpiece that André Balazs snapped up for almost five million bucks at an NYC auction a few months back? Well, it's finally resurfaced—albeit a long way from Manhattan. Maison Tropicale goes on display next week at London's Tate Modern in conjunction with the nearby Design Museum's retrospective on the mid-century icon. (That's Prouvé, not Balazs.) This might not be the house's last voyage—rumor is the entire building's been earmarked for the hotelier's next hush-hush project somewhere in the South Pacific, likely Fiji.
