Russian Web Company Yandex’s Offices: Interior Design Ideas

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 06:31 AM PST

Search giant Google, social networking behemoth Facebook and chirpy microblogging site Twitter may all have great digs, but if you think that the only tech companies that have cool offices reside in the silicon valley you couldn’t be more wrong. Take a look at Russian search engine company Yandex’s offices and you will see what we mean. Created by Za Bor Architects, the space offers interesting focal points and perspectives all through. Considering that this is indeed the company’s fourth office within the country, you could be forgiven for believing their IPOing rumours.

The architectural designers wanted to evoke a cool calm and casual atmosphere that enhanced the computer geek squad’s organic nature and sense of humanity. So they used a whole lot of wood and cork and while keeping most spaces minimal, used fun furniture and played upon the shapes, forms and texture of the walls and ceilings. Walking through the space and seeing the diagonal doorways and blackened ceilings gives the offices an Alice n Wonderland feeling where objects and spaces are not as big and tall as they appear- or maybe they are, but we can imagine it keeps things in the office interesting…

Fairy Tale Living in Milan Hotel: Interior Design Ideas

Fairy Tale Living in Milan Hotel

Posted: 26 Nov 2010 11:54 AM PST

Italy has always been embraced for its multicultural happenings, but what Milan is most known for is fashion and design. This hotel belonging to the styles of renowned Moschino, is probably unlike anything you’ve seen. Looking more like a a fun house of fairy tales, this 4 story dream station, Maison Moschino is more than just a luxury hotel and more like a surreal alternate reality. Each room has a theme that indulges the senses by saturating your sight with sensual and illusory dream like images- and the best part is they are all so different and bizarre! So unless you’re a regular, you never know kind of experience you’ll get! From the glowing lamps shaped in the form of a famous Moschino dress, to the cupcake pillows, this hotel leaves nothing to the imagination but paints a vivid one for you.

We just wonder how much a night of vivid dreams like this would cost…
