finger-touching1Okay, I am going to be honest. This item is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my whole life. It is like every super techno scifi espionage action flick ever. The Finger Touching Concept Phone — need I say more? Well, of course I do!

It is the closest we can get to being bionic these days, really — the phone straps onto your wrist, at which point you can take the whole “Talk to the hand!” concept to an entirely new level.

The phone works by using an actual digital hologram, which actually projects the keypad right onto your fingers; your knuckles act as separators. Unfortunately, to place a call, you have to use that rather annoying “omg, I’m so totally on the phone” gesture with your thumb and your pinkie, but hey, sometimes you gotta make sacrifices if you want to be high tech.

Forget Ping Pong, This Is Bling Pong

chrome-ping-pong-tableYou know, some people take their love of and skill at ping pong very seriously … and it might be fair to say that this particular ping pong table was designed especially for them.

We currently live in a world where, for just about every standard item you can imagine, there is also a luxury version — and yes, that now includes ping pong tables. If, of course, you are willing to spend about fifty five grand on the privilege.

Cumulus Studios, courtesy of Nathalie Karg, and Rirkrit Tiravanija, a designer, are responsible for this shiny, blinging piece of sports equipment. As you may well imagine, it is a limited edition piece of work.

It is so limited, in fact, that in addition to being quite insanely expensive, there will only be ten of them made.

Conmoto brings out the cozy moments this 'fire season'Now that we have talked about lingerie, let’s go ahead and dive right into one piece of furniture that you are not going to want to forget these season.  Winter is coming up and if you live in the north – on the east side of the country, snow is going to be coming soon and I can promise that you are going to want to curl right up in front of something … why not make it a Conmoto fireplace?

This particular fireplace is actually really cool and it can actually face any direction and you can curl up by the fire.  The great thing – you can actually put it anywhere too, because it is gas.

Conmoto is the maker and this particular fireplace is actually pretty damn cool and I think if you have the money, it is worth the investment.

Victoria's Secret reveals $3 million diamond braWhile I would not be comfortable wearing three millions dollar anything, I think that a million plus dollar bra is something that is pretty cool actually.  This particular bra is actually a concept of Victoria’s Secret and really, I think that it is actually a smokin’ hot bra … if you have that kind of money mind you.

This bra was actually designs by the Italian jewelry house Damiani and it actually took over 15 artisans about eight hundred … yes, you read that right, 800 hours to craft up this one of a kind bra.  IT has 18 karat gold harlequin-patterned net and embellished with about 2,355 colorless and cognac diamonds.

The diamond that hangs just below though is actually a 16-carat heart-shaped champagne diamonds pendant that dangles right in the middle.  It’s pretty awesome actually.

A New Way to Get Your Coffee Fix

coffee-centre-on-wallYou know how it goes. You want a big coffee dispenser, so you can have a lot of coffee — but then you end up sacrificing a whole lot of counter space, and who wants to do that? Even if you are lucky enough to have a metric ton of room in your kitchen, you likely have better things to fill it with than a ginormous coffee dispenser.

That is where the Ariston Built In Coffee Dispenser comes in handy. Great for office use and use right in your home, this dispenser can go right into your wall — and coffee is the least of what it will brew for you. You can enjoy cappuccinos, espressos, tea, lattes, and plain old hot water as well — if, of course, you are willing to shell out upwards of $2,260 for the privilege.

Who Says Luxury Can’t be Energy Efficient?

truled-tv1Even HDTVs are getting new age these days, cats — and, yes, energy efficient as well. Check out the Vizio TruLED HDTV — fifty five inches of TV watching goodness. And yes, it is energy efficient, considered to be a replacement for those TVs which still work on cathodes. In fact, this TV is even a replacement for the new flat screens.

And you know how much those flat screens cost, right? Well, at $2,200, the TruLED HDTV is not really as expensive as some of the others. It is not outrageously more expensive, anyway.

And ideally, of course, price is not going to matter, since the TV has nearly a thousand individual LEDs and boasts a two million to one ratio.

Meaning you will get a sick sharp picture while still somehow managing to be more energy efficient.

Aznom’s Black Widow tableNow that we have talked about the chair in your life, let’s go ahead and talk about the table in your life.  Personally, I am a little dark in my home décor selections and when I found Aznom’s Black Widow Table, I was in friggin’ heaven!  This is a coffee table that is actually inspired from race cars and actually uses race car technology in there.

The Aznom’s Black Widow Table is actually made from aluminum, glass and carbon fiber that match a lot of the different designs in race cars right now.  The name might say that Aznom took the inspiration from the Black Widow spider but the truth of the matter is that race cars were the main inspiration with an addition to the Black Widow spider design.

If you are looking for this particular table – it is going to cost you, I can tell you that.  For example, it is going to cost you at least $19,000 – but it’ll be worth it!

P38 Chair from Owen EdwardsWhen you think about it – what you put in your home and your home décor really makes a statement about who you are.  For example, if you have gothic tastes, it usually will show up in your home décor.  Also – I believe that everyone has a chair … their own specific chair that is perfectly fit to everything that they need out of a piece of furniture.  My chair?  The P38 Chair from Owen Edwards – this particular chair, shown here is absolutely beautiful!

It is a rocker-shaped design actually allows you to curl up inside of it – you can curl up just like a baby inside the beautiful cushioned interiors.  The shell-like exterior is has been sprayed with car-quality white gloss and it looks absolutely beautiful.

Inside, it is all leather and I have to say that it is by far the most comfortable chair in the entire world!

soft-croc-quilted-satchelLadies, you best listen up, now! Croc leather is absolutely luxurious and few designers in the world can work with it better than Nancy Gonzalez, which is why her Soft Croc Quilted Satchel is already a super hot seller.

There are five very even and wonderfully tastefully pleated panels, each one featuring alternating patterns of sumptuous croc leather. Both the back and the front are marvelously smooth and the silhouette of the bag is flawless.

Frames are going to be huge this coming season, and the Croc Satchel has them as well. It has long double straps for easy carrying as well, not to mention metal feet so the leather will not get scuffed or damaged even when you have to sit the bag down.

It is available in shades of black and purple — but through Neiman Marcus, it costs about $2,750.

spaldin-soy-bedsSo … this is the Soy Bed. Please take a moment and absorb that. The Soy Bed.

There are lots of beds out there. Many of them are very special, they promise to do many things. And then there’s the Spaldin Soy Bed. Spaldin is a Spanish company which is now tackling the fine art of soy mattresses.

They are made out of biodegradable materials which have been cultivated and processed without harmful chemicals.

There are four different types of Soy Beds: the Aircell Soy, the Biocell Soy, the Sensitex Soy (which sounds a little R rated), and the Memory Soy.

In the spirit of going green, you can assure yourself green dreams too — for one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars. Ehhh…
