Mile-and-a-half High Design

8,000 feet later, we’re safely sequestered among the aspen trees at the ultimate modernist mountain retreat, Aspen Meadows Resort, home to the Aspen Design Summit. All Summit aside, this resort makes us feel like we’re in 1953, when Herbert Bayer was commissioned to create a Bauhaus wonderland, with clean white walls, blonde wood, and too many sweet fluorescent geometric prints to count (most by Bayer). We could live here.
