Modern Shelving Ideas from the cE Hotel

click thumbnails for larger pics

The cE Hotel in Buenos Aires, designed by architect Ernesto Goransky, prides itself on providing state-of-the-art creature comforts such as laptop stations and flat-screen entertainment centers in every room. The design incorporates these media centers in interesting ways, with shelving that supports multiple purposes...

A suspended box shelf in the bedroom separates the sleeping area from a lounge and allows the guest to swivel the TV to face the sofa or bed. The box shelf is solid on one side, with open cubbies on the other for storage. In other layouts, wall shelving next to the bed supports a laptop station. Bathrooms are designed with similar floating shelves and drawers with space underneath to line up shoes and slippers. For more information, visit cE Hotel online.

So if you're watching that DVD - you'd better be in bed if you want to pause or back up?

LOL @ bepsf

True...BUT you can get a remote sensor that is tiny and separate, its made for people who hide the electronics behind doors, so the sensor is put at the very top of an armoire or whatever...

Ugh. Something about it reminds me of a hospital room.

nohj, you're not alone; that's the exact thought I had. The room in the fourth picture is much more inviting, I love the upholstered bed.

As for the remote, a mirror could also solve the problem. With fresh batteries in the remote, the white walls might even be reflective enough...

Love it. Why can't more hotels be like this, instead of the overwrought decorations that are found even in so-called 'contemporary' hotels?
