Whoever said that getting the kind of music that makes you want to shake your booty or lull you into the land of the most wondrous dreams while also providing the kind of comfort that your lovely body deserves, is not possible is so very wrong! Great music quality and luxury in furniture comes together in this age, especially when you have designers like Martin Emila who dares to think chic.
The Media Chair knows just what you need and will give you the best in sound quality. The chair is fitted with speakers so strategically located that you do not just receive the music but would feel that you have been embedded within the musical notes itself! A touchpad on the armrest ensures you need not travel away from the chair to change the music or any other settings.
The Media Chair offers different possibilities for interested buyers in terms of selecting the colour of the fantastically designed chair. You can even choose the type and colour of the upholstering on the chair. Unfortunately, after making all those choices, it would be hard to get your hands on because this car is just a concept.

Antique collectors, may we have your attention please? We just came across this bit of news which might just add some excitement to your lives that forever wait for some gorgeous piece to add to your collection. Hyde Park Antiques in New York is selling a pair of exquisite Regency rosewood and Parcel Gilt game tables. And when we say ‘exquisite’ we totally mean ‘exquisite’!
Each of these tables have a rectangular top that has been lined with leather to make for a real classy gaming surface. We are quite taken up by the boldly craved acanthus edges that yell royal luxury in your face, and tell you very frankly, no one seems to mind it. And then there is a peneled frieze set between the foliate-carved corbels.

Let us be honest, there are handbags for summer and then there are handbags for winter (do not fret, we are not ignoring the possibilities for spring, rain and fall). We just think that it is fashionably a very bad idea to mix the two aforementioned seasons. Just take a dekko at the Tory Burch Nico Shearling Satchel and you will know what we are talking about. This fashion accessory-cum-utility is a perfect match for you winter coat, which we think might be back from the dry cleaners.
The satchel in question exudes a winter style that will keep you warm with happiness and style. There are furry shearling edges that impress upon a strong sense of warmth and comfort, a reassurance one always needs. At the same time, it looks very elegant thanks to the signature ‘T’ hooks that hold the handle.

Linley is a British group well known for creating the most amazing storage boxes for collector’s items, jewelry and even cigars and wines. And we mean no ordinary box by that. The brand has a long history of creating the most spectacular architectural patterns on these containers making them no less than a work of art. And the newest offering from this group is a humidor that has been tremendously inspired by the iconic Partagas Factory in Cuba.
This unique box has been made in sycamore, using cherry moldings as well as lippings and marquetry detailing in the finest walnut, of course sycamore and ebony. If the exterior has impressed you well enough, then let’s move inside to see the gorgeous Spanish cedarwood. This fine wood has been integrated with a ‘CigarSpa’ humidification system.

We’ve heard of ceiling fans, lamps hanging from the ceiling and even books. An Italy based firm Ad Hoc has come up with something unique and innovative – home radiators that not only look stylish and add up to the décor of a room, but hang from the ceiling.
Aesthetics in making radiators décor friendly have undergone enormous effort in the recent years. Ad Hoc’s effort takes it to a new level altogether.
The radiators are meant to make the living space a symbol of authentic and harmonious domestic universe. The ultimate balance is between keeping it trendy and utilitarian as well. Tiki radiator as it is called, blends into a modern home in its minimalist make up. The shape is cylindrical, with a visual appeal and intricate finish. Tiki radiators are available in satin or white finish.
The metal radiator may well go on to turn the centerpiece of your home, thanks to its unique suspension feature. It is so oblivious and yet can attract attention that it resembles a hanging lamp shade. The heating element hangs in mid-air. The designer is Carlo Martino.

The last time you went to play with the boys, one of them might have got a little too frisky and kicked you in the groins. That must have hurt a lot, and if it didn’t you must have been wearing an armour made of iron! Well, if you do not like to protect your itsy-bitsies behind an iron shield, you could very well buy these awesome Nike Pro Combat undergarments.
They can be used by all kinds of players, whether soccer stars, basketball stars or whatever else. They cost between $21 to $80 and I am not sure if the price depends on the wearer’s size. They are made from Dri-Fabric which will keep you happy and dry, while you are playing of course. They also allow freedom of movement, and the hard plates and foam cells protect your junk from those evil men around you.

Sometimes even the best driver needs a lot of assistance. The driver might not know which road to take, which signal to avoid, and where to expect to be held in a traffic jam. Moreover, drivers can’t really predict weather, climate, road conditions and even if any accidents have taken place some place along the road.
The AIDA project (affective, intelligent driving agent) is an amazing driving navigation system that allows the driver to navigate through roads and travel without a hitch thanks to robotic interface. The AIDA has been created by Volkswagen of America and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The robotic platform tells and predicts what your conditions are going to be during your journey and it even makes your travel programs.

Sometimes dolls are better friends than humans for many kids. Playing with dolls has even proven to be a great therapeutic release for a child’s pent up emotions. If your child loves to play with dolls, you should perhaps encourage the kid more and allow him or her to go ahead and explore different emotions that are felt while playing with dolls.
Many of these emotions may not be pleasant but they help the child to purge such emotions which should not be bottled up. In order to encourage your kid to play with dolls more often, you could buy this cute Casa Cabana which has been designed by Kidsonroof. The cardboard shown here is a part of the many dollhouses that they have created using recycled materials.
