Perhaps, it is one of the most beautiful dedications to the popular world obsession — Coffee. Called Piacere and designed by a German firm Sielaff, this one has a sexy curve that gets highlighted in the mirror-finish and spectacular LED lighting; and how can we forget that it makes some great coffee too.
Being a compact bean-to-cup machine, this one comes in two models called Mono and Dup with single and double grinders respectively. Both of them come with a chilled fresh milk module, which can be replaced just in case you need one of those additional soluble ingredient hopped for chocolate, or whitener.

Luxury airliners are doing their best to revv up things for their business. For instance, if you wish to take Delta Air Lines or even one of its SkyTeam partners then you can enjoy into a splash of comfort that is super-glam. Yes, their new lounge at London’s Heathrow Airport is the result of the marriage between Delta Air Lines and the Air France KLM group and it reminds you of ‘The Jetsons’ for some reason.
The lounge works on two levels, literally so! It includes a spa, restaurant, wine bar, oxygen bar and an entertainment center with all sorts of computer games. This service is for a privileged few who travel international first class, business class and SkyTeam Elite Plus.

Even if you are one of those knit-picking connoisseurs of wine, you shall be impressed. We are not making any blind prediction but drawing logical conclusions from simple facts. The new n2Vin wine refrigeration is a charmer, to say the least. This preservation unit is real joy to own, look at and keep your favorite wine stored in a delicious temperature for as long as a month.
The name itself suggests the use of nitrogen gas for the purpose of storage, which really displaces the rather destructive oxygenated air in the head space of opened bottles. There are five dispensing taps all connected to opened bottles. The digital temperature controls keeps you posted on the atmosphere inside.

In the times that we live in today, we think it’s almost a crime not to own a cool set of speakers if you are audiophile. And if you are a rich one too, then you can easily settle all your best on the newest entrant of the luxury speakers market that goes by the name of Bärnbach. Their speakers are called Maitresse and have been rocking Austria ever since their launch recently.
Quite a looker, this model has been made in monococque carbon fiber for that impressive a seamless structure. The finishing has been done in glossy piano black. But that’s not the only color option on offer.

As long as the rich among us are willing to shell out he extra buck or two, there will never be a dearth of luxury items that are really nothing more than some paltry stuff converted into an extraordinary one.

As a part of the Crystal Line that features high-end kitchen products, this one too is available only on special order. The corkscrew is 27.5 cm in height with a width of 6 inches. All items in this line are select products with a remarkable luster on a design that you will want to have for its uniqueness.

‘So much for an actor, that too such a sexy one’, you might wanna say! No wonder Orlando Bloom’s Rolex watches are getting all the attention they need even before they go on auction on June 11. We are referring to the three timepieces that come from the actor’s personal collection to be a part of Antiquorum’s Important Collectors’ Wristwatches auction in New York.
We have taken a liking for the rare 1973 Explorer II Steve McQueen watch, which is treasured by all Rolex aficionados. Bloom wore this one estimated to be at a price between $10,000 and $15,000 with a leather cuff bracelet. But we will not be surprised if it goes away at even a better price.

The famous quote that ‘d-o-g’ can be read as ‘g-o-d’ by just a change in perspective, might have just come true thanks to designer Marco Morosini. Well, some time ago we told you about the perfumes for pooches and now, we have got a whole range of gorgeous doghouses. Called ‘Dog is God’ and sold under the brand name Italo Bosa, this collection pay a unique tribute to man’s best friend.
Morosini states that dogs have been given a good treatment since times immemorial. First it was the Assyrians and then the Egyptians who embalmed them after death. Even the Chinese, the Incas and the Mayas took special care of them.

Bonhams has its hands full this time organizing the largest Greenwich Concours d’Elegance Auction ever. Buzz is that it will offer 80 cars for sale, most of them exotic. But the real head turner will be Ted Leonard’s collection. The famous car collector of Rhode Island has the credit of owning some of the most spectacular roadies owned by celebrities or are even closely related to movies.
Take the 1929 Rolls Royce Phantom I Ascot Tourer for instance. This car was featured in the 1971 F. Scott Fitzgerald film The Great Gatsby. And this very automobile is expected to fetch close to $200,000. If you remember, the whole movie revolved around the lead actor learning how to drive vintage Rolls. Now, that person could be you!
