Airbnb’s co-founder is creating an in-house design studio to promote stuff like this trippy house in Japan. It’s called Samara.
Airbnb has reached a $30 billion valuation on the strength of its short-term home rental platform, which makes a lot of money.
The next step for Airbnb, however, will involve making money on the stuff its customers do while they travel: shopping, checking out museums and so on. The company plans to roll out something substantial in this area later this year.
