Remember the super cool Modernist Christmas cards? Well, designer Stefi Orazi is back with something equally cool and very topical – the Le Corbusier greetings cards.

Topical because they coincide with the Le Corbusier exhibition and film season at the Barbican and no doubt, a resurgence of interest in all things modernist.

For your money, you get a pack of six illustrated cards in A6 size with envelopes, each with a different piece of the great man's architecture on the front. The coolest cards you'll send (or receive) this year, a pack costs £12.

We rarely feature things on Retro To Go that you can't go out and buy – and this version of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye house is one of that small number. You'll have to make it yourself in Lego.

This version was made by Matija Grguric, a Lego take on the classic modernist house Villa Savoye, designed by Le Corbusier and built between 1928 and 1929. You'll find the original in Poissy, just outside of Paris and if you want to compare it to the original, you can view images of that here.

Then all you need is a pile of Lego, some patience, an eye for detail and plenty of spare time. If you manage it, send us a picture.
