Amazing balconies of Willis Tower (Formerly Sears Tower)


Willis Tower, formerly named Sears Tower, is a 108-story 1,450 feet (442 m) skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. This tallest skyscraper in the United States has four glass box viewing platforms. These balconies are suspended 1,353 feet (412 m) in the air on the 103rd floor. As per reports, the inspiration for The Ledge came from hundreds of forehead prints visitors left behind on Skydeck windows every week. Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the architecture firm that designed the tower, also designed this balcony.

Red Kitchens

Another round of kitchens sorted by color! The color that we will feature today is red and it is associated with passion, lust and generally used to signify intense feelings and emotions. Red is also said to induce hunger and want and it is a well known fact that most fast food companies use this color for their logo and branding to get more business. Modern decor and designs in shades of red are increasingly gaining popularity and this is no exception when it comes to designing stylish kitchens. Here we take a peek into few such trendy red kitchen designs by European makers Snaidero, Mobalpa, Errebie Spa, Nolte Kutchen & Pedini.

To continue with our series on kitchens by color, we bring you Orange kitchens today. Orange radiates fun, flamboyance and energy. Orange is considered to be an extreme colour and sometimes tend to evoke a ‘love it’ or ‘hate it’ attitude from people. Orange, like red, is also said to be appetizing. Scroll down to see orange colored kitchens from some of Europe’s top kitchen makers.
