It’s a TV stand to behold. We are talking in the language of Horgan Becket, which is a Brooklyn based architecture and design firm. Well, this ‘not so much heard of’ company has grabbed everyone’s attention thanks to a spectacularly television unit created by their extremely talented team. The concept works well for it blends the traditional with the modern to give a fine aesthetic expression never seen before.

Horgan Becket has made use of cast iron insteadof the wood venner which seems to be a more popular choice in the present day decor requirements. And that is just the reason why they are winning kudos from all over. Well, at least someone is daring to be different and pleasing at the same time!
That said, the company also offers the option of complete customisation. So just in case cast iron stand mounted on wheels does not work well for you, do not fret because you can choose from other components too. All this is done while maintaining Horgam Becket’s art of designing and crafting. At a price of $12,000, you deserve nothing but the best from this brand.

For those of you who really enjoy hooking their fangs on to the famous HBO vampire series ‘True Blood’, you might just like the new jewelry line dedicated to the same theme that designer Udi Behr has launched. There is a whole range of rings, necklaces and earrings while making use of the TV show’s themes as inspiration.

The pieces are quite stunning since they incorporate sterling silver as well as stainless chain along with leather and precious rubies. Fans are definitely in for some gothic fashion treat. We are told that several items also include fang-like clasp closure and with prices starting from $59 and going up to $1,295 we are sure that every purse would find something suitable here.

Behr was heard saying that he did not want to make just another vampire jewelry line. In fact, the sexy and seductive lines from the show were a real inspiration for his latest creative collection. In a way, like in the TV show, he has tried to capture ‘eternity’ in the stunning jewelry pieces. Going by Behr’s past record, you can rely on his skills. After all, he has previously won Luxury Magazin’s title of Designer of the Year and has names like Elton John and Sharon Stone in his clientele.

Paris Hilton is the trademark babe in the luxury woods. In fact, her name sells so much that a TV blinging group has decided to dedicate their new TV to the hotel heiress. The claim is that they have decorated many LCD TVs before but their hottest innovation has been done n the strong Fuchsia crystals. The color is such a dominating force here that ‘meant for Paris Hilton’ seems to be a very natural thing.

We are told that this television was a surprise gift for th beautiful Hilton babe when she was in Germany recently. The makers think that the Fuchsia (rose is very school-girl sorts) and Jet combo works well for a grown-up gadget freak girl. The deep, bright shade of pink has a personality and character of its own.

It is just the frame of this gorgeous 40″ LCD TV that is covered with some 14,000 crystallised trademark Swarovski Elements. Some of you might think that the looks of this idiot box might hinder with the TV viewing process. Well, not while you are like Paris Hilton. After all this TV packs in loads of oomph for someone with loads of oomph.

The mankind has always been fascinated by the future whether it’s been philosophers, writers and scientists, of course. Sci-fi fans intend to take it to an all new level altogether. Retro-futurism is the form that is the current favorite with both geeks and connoisseurs. And if you have the moolah (apart from the zest, of course) then you must definitely check out the Shipwrecked Submarine Home Theater.

A fascinating concept, this one is really the play room of Wayne Eyre (no relation of the famous Jane Eyre) who went on to spend a huge $100,000 on this submarine complete with plutonium-leaking torpedos.

Apart from the sci-fi razzmataz, the theater features the best in equipment as well as furniture. A whole set of reclining chairs are at your disposal as you set out to enjoy the three-meter big screen TV with an ultimate surround sound system that emit sonar and ocean sonds throughout the 12-meter by 5.5m room. On the base of custom wood, a spray of concrete and paint reminds of rusting steel beams while the melted plastic sheets give the impression of bent steel.

Well with the televisions so far, both size and style are no longer an issue with any of our increasing lifestyle demands. But that was no reason for SunBrite TV to not go the extra distance.

In all honesty, the TV racks that were availble in the market so far were far from impressive. And you will agree when we say that a great television deserves a furniture stand that will match its stature. German Audio/Video specialist Spectral has decided to work on it with a whole range of TV furniture.

In this new collection, there are three models – Brick, Closed and Catena. Let’s talk about them one by one. Brick is a glass cabinet that has recessed fronts. A virtual surround system integrated in the base from leading speaker manufactuer Canton gives you the best quality sound. We liked the hidden cable management that this unit has to offer.

Closed has a surround sound system while the third model Catena comes with an additional cupboard and drawer for the integration of your projector. So you just have to pull the drawer and the projector is ready to use in seconds. This drawer is designed to fit in the new ultra-wide-angle LCD projetors from Hitachi. Also, the TV racks come in a host of colors.

We all have a horrible-horrible taste in television. With an opening statement as scathing as that you will indeed agree that there is always something the matter with the whole experience of TV viewing that renders it incomplete. But there is a cure in the form of the TV Easel that will set you back by a cool $1,000.

This little piece of furniture will let you balance your television at a 70-degree angle on reclaimed oak. As a result, the idiot box will earn itself a newfound respect in your decor. The easel works along the principle of glasses that when worn by a dork can make him/her look like an intellectual.

The TV Easel has been made in solid hardwood with an integrated component storage and wire managements system. Topping it all is a hand-applied, four-step antiqued ebony finish that really does the magic for the looks of this product. Plus it also can be doubled as an easel for other display items like artwork, mirrors and so on.
