Posh housing - 12.05.2005
Luxury housing is on the rise in Prague and developer Pod Lipami recently introduced its newly-completed, atypical residential project "Na Hřebenkách XY". The furnished apartments, from studios to two-floor penthouses worth tens of million of crowns complete with "smart home" systems, are almost sold out.

Three years - 12.05.2005
Office furniture producer Kinnarps celebrated its 3rd anniversary in its design headquarters in Čestlice near Prague. The splendid party offered guests various entertainment - live music, cocktails, an improvized casino. However the most successful attraction was the wide screen viewing of the World Championship hockey semifinals.
