One thing common to most Hollywood classics is that sexy diva-like heroine who occasionally likes to smoke that long and fashionable cigarette. Maybe it was then, or perhaps even earlier, that fashion and smoking began to be associated with each other. Without getting into the moralities, let us introduce a rather innovative fashion accessory that caught our eye.
This luxury cigarette holder is called Fipa (and we don’t know why) and is as trendy as anything in your wardrobe today. Plus it comes with flavored tobacco in individual units. Insiders reveal that the idea to make Fipa was born when its creator Kuan was smoking his pipe one fine day and suddenly though of making a design solution for a woman’s smoking device.

Expect Alessi Alberto to come up with something that’s out of the ordinary. The Vineyard tasting glass coming from his house has drawn instant attention owing to its unique shape and design. The glass’s shape is actually asymmetrical. And we hear that is for a special reason. The side that bends outwards is actually intended for tasting white wine. The special shape exposes the liquor to the air and opens up the fragrance.
Now this wonder glass is not just meant for tasting white wine alone. So, if you want to sample some red wine, then use the side that curves inwards. This traps and concentrates the aromas. Experts actually found the claim to be true. The wines taste and smell very different when sipped from the two different sides of the glass.

The Leap Chair is an interesting product that aims to make sitting comfortable a part of daily routine. Most of us have bad postures not because we develop it, but because the chairs and couches we sit on are badly designed. The Leap Chair has been designed by Steelcase and is meant for offices. The chair has already won a number of prizes and seems like it is one of the best buys in town.
It is however a little expensive and costs $1,300 but it shouldn’t be a problem if you are the CEO of a company! It makes sure your back is supported well in order to avoid back aches. It also has an adjustable seat depth and thermal comfort to make sure you don’t get cold or hot. You could easily adjust height, depth, width and pivot arms.

There is always something fantastic about an outdoor grill. The cold wisp of wind, the smoky flavours, the starry nights and of course great company, all these together make an out door barbecue a cherishable experience. Broberg & Ridderstråle have designed a minimalist BBQ which can be used outside. They call the grill “Röshults Grill – 120” and will suit any place, indoors and outdoors. It is made of steel and you can use firewood or charcoal.
The detachable stainless steel area just complements the look and feel of the gadget. There is enough space to grill loads of meat for a handful of guests. Imagine having this by the pool when it is a cold winter night! If you can get a whiff of what I am saying, you would really not mind spending $1,804 on this space saving modernist design.
