The project differs in its great attention to detail, creative advanced interiors and unusual rough finishes.

Chinese design company INNOVO has created the collection of  original pendant lamps. Xuan, that means disorder, could brighten up any boring interior and add natural motifs. Looking at the photo, you can hardly guess that the lamp is made ??of bamboo. But it's true. The bamboo has been cut into very fine and smooth slices and twisted accordingly, giving the design a delicate appearance. And I should note one more interesting feature - Xuan can turn into a dancing lamp. If you just open the window, you'll see  fluttering and dancing  fibers of bamboo. Visit the designer's site here.

You'll be surprised, but dental surgery can be not so terrible. For example Weissraum Dental Surgery in Munich looks more like a lounge area than a dental office. Dentist Mattias Fierbiger chose an old dance studio in a historic building in art deco style as place for his dental office and invited Peter Ippolito and Gunter Fleitz from Ippolito Fleitz Group. High ceilings, interesting stucco molding, oak floors were the base for this contemporary project. The interior is very light due to white color and gold elements add luxury. Everything was done to give the feel of hospitality and service.

Company DEN Architecture completed the interior design of an apartment in Miami, Florida. Young couple from Central America purchased this modern apartment in a prestigious building from the late 70s. An outdated plan needed the urgent intervention. Modern furniture and built in wardrobes do not press on the space, contrasting colors add originality. The main colors, used in the project, are classical for Central America design - the deep dark earth tones, mixed with a rich timber and diluted with bright red accents.

Architects and designers from EXE STUDIO have completed the apartment design for a young business school student in Belgrade, Serbia. The total area of the flat is 69 square meters. All surfaces are painted in white with bright accents of black and green elements. Centerpiece of the design is a big black block placed between the living room and kitchen, that separated two zones. This item is a godsend in terms of functional - on the one hand, it is used as a stand for the TV, and on the other - it hides kitchen furniture. There are lots of hexagons in the interior; these designed elements are placed on the wall, at ceiling and at the box. They have three functions: shelves, lighting elements and masks. In general, the design is very creative and I think the young lady will feel herself comfortable there.
