Drive in your mini-house: Electric One-Person Car
Posted in Automobile, Car, Designer, Luxury on 27 March 2007

The name (The Electric One-Person Car) goes well with its functionality but with a difference. This princely looking car has been designed for those who like to travel alone and spend time with themselves on long drives. This electric three wheeled asset may appear a toy to kids but for Auto geeks, this has become a product soon-to-be-grabbed. With a range of 30 miles per charge, the car operates with zero emissions and uses less than half the energy of today’s most efficient hybrid vehicles.

Electric One-Person Car
Made up of advanced fiberglass/rigid foam composite shell amplified by steel support, makes it lightweight with a strong frame. The adjustable seat, AM/FM CD-player, retractable three-point safety belt, power windows, windshield wiper, air vent, heater, 6′ cu. storage area behind the drivers seat for your necessary things making you feel at home, the difference that I have talked about lies here.

Powered by a 156-volt DC electric motor, the vehicle generates 33-horsepower, providing a top speed of 70 mph, and allowing it to accelerate from 0-30 mph in 31/2 seconds. Available in Red, Teal, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Magenta, White, Coral, Dark Aqua, Green, Lime Green, Lilac and Aqua, this mini-house is available for sale at $24,899.95.

Soft nights on Particia Urquiola's new bed

The newly designed bed by Particia Urquiola can be seen as a best gift for a newly married couple. Well, I am making a tongue in cheek remark as it can also be used at the time of couple’s naughty fights. The headboard of this bed is available in both double and single versions, which is its outstanding attraction.

In headboard of the double version consists of two independent beddings and is softened by cushions, supported by an elastic strap in a choice of 3 colors viz. same as fabric, leather upholstery or in a contrasting color.

Adjustable in height, the cushions can be placed as per your convenience of reading or for watching TV. Two tubular metal supports hold up the frame. The base frame ia made up of a metal mesh with pre-curved beech wood slats. Available at B & B Italia, it adds the lively factor to your bedroom by making youfeel at peace.

Chlo Aubrey’s Bracelet Bag

Chlo Aubrey's Bracelet Bag

This unusual yet impressive bag may suit your personality but not mine. This bracelet bag might add another feather to the Chlo Aubrey’s running collection but I think unlike other bags this is a big distraction.
The bag has a ring shaped circular handle, connected to the top of the purse by chains, that can be tied over a wrist to give rest to your hands while still able to carry things. Made up of black leather, heavily embellished with a mixture of gold and silver hardware, including a gold disc trim on the front, the bag measures 13″L x 7″H x 3″W. Price: $1,191.49.

The most expensive pen till date, just for $730,000

The most expensive pen till date, just for $730,000

Well a new accessory viz. Limited Edition Mystery Masterpiece, a joint creation of Montblanc and Van Cleef & Arpels, is a token of love for all the writers under the sun. This beautiful and well decked pen is the reflection of the expertise of two luxury industry giants, who celebrated their centennials in 2006.
The pen comes in three versions i.e. ruby, sapphires and emeralds, accented by diamonds. There are three versions of each pen for a total of nine. Each pen has 840 diamonds and more than 20 carats of gemstones set in a Van Cleef & Arpels patented “Mystery Setting” that conceals the stone settings.
A groove is made on the culet, the bottom facet of the stone, which is then slid onto the threads of the lattice design so that the stones can be held in place side by side without any visible support. The Mystery can be grabbed at the retail of $730,000, making it the most expensive writing instrument ever created. Truly a masterpiece of the jeweler’s art, I just wish my better half would gift me this pen on our ring ceremony. Nothing else can be a better gift for a journalist like me
