    The lobby in the Yoo Panama residential project in Panama City, Florida, imagined by French designer Philippe Starck, is anything but ordinary. It displays an assortment of furniture, typical of a waiting room, juxtaposed with surprising elements like animal sculptures and a see-saw. The fact that everything is coloured hot pink is an added bonus in the vivid space.
