Guerlain Idylle Baccarat Edition is a fragrant sculpture which has been created by Ora Ito. It comes with a flacon which is smeared with gold and the stopper is made of 18 carat gold. It is seated in a bubble made of luxurious Baccarat crystal.
There is also the Idylle Baccarat which is a limited edition piece and comes with lacquered coffret and costs 30,000 Euros. If your perfume bottle looked like this, who would not buy? The heavy price tag can actually buy a luxurious car but if you overlook that fact, I guess it is still a good and great idea to be buying this. I would so love to get it for myself but it is almost heartrendingly expensive.

Swedish designer Jonas Rylander and Michael Hollesen for a company called Klutz Design have designed the ballerina Sweetspot, which is an audiophile listening chair that is being touted as a revolutionary product for those who love music.
The user must certainly be rich as the chair costs $8000 and it is a simple chair with arm rests but it avoids rear reflections, comes with a low back and the feet absorb vibration. It is an awesome gift to people who love music and it would be available in early 2010. The chair looks chic, stylish and it would be a great addition to the living space and it does not damage the decor.

Sometimes all we need is a vehicle to transport us from one place to the other. However, we always find ourselves complain about the lack of creativity in the vehicles we see every day. The Voltra Electric Motorcycle has been created after a large body of research was done about the history of motorcycling, technology and also biking culture and its place in the society.
With that in mind, Voltra is something unique and that appeals to everyone instantly. Thanks to its electric fuel, it would be green and clean. Thanks to its great design and appealing looks, it would appeal to the fashion conscious as well. Imagine if you could go ahead and ride on a bike that looked like this! It is always cool to be comfortable with the vehicle that we have.

Video games have taken the world by a storm and there isn’t a single sphere in life that has not been touched by it. Most people play video games no no matter who they and where they stay. Most business executives, students, housewives and regardless of the demographics, video games have changed the way we live.
Here is a cool handmade NES controller pouch by seller SplashingKoi, and it costs $49.99. Thanks to the felt material, you would feel the softness and comfort when you hold your netbook. Imagine being able to carry a laptop in a felt NES controller case? No video game fan could actually deny that this could perhaps be the coolest netbook case in the world.

Chilean designer Alvaro Poblete Poulsen certainly must be interested in exhibitionism. By designing a transparent portable shelter, he has created what could be used by voyeurs and exhibitionists in the great outdoors.
The see-through tent OUTLIFE, can be pitched in any weather condition and provides solace and comfort from elemental harm, and also from wild animals. It can withstand temperatures between -20 degree Celsius and 60 degree Celsius. However, you could also control the opacity of the tent, just in case you need a little privacy. The tent can be used in national parks and other places where cruising generally occurs.

If you thought your child had to carry heavy bags to school with all those books, you would most certainly be coming from one of the Asian or African countries. In these countries, children are made to carry heavy books and this results in strained muscles and hurt bones.
Thus the Smart Bag is an awesome design by a Malaysian which addresses this problem. It is made from a lightweight material and comes with trolleys etc which help the child to pull the bag if it becomes too heavy. storage compartments for files, books, stationery and water bottles make it an attractive bag and even children would love it as they can carry so many books all at once.

Ever wondered what it is like to work effortlessly when in the arctic region? Well, not many would want to work or even travel in those inhospitable terrains but the Arctic Drifter is an amazing Mobile media centric living space and work unit. It comes with the prominent FlyEye system which collects ultra high resolution spherical projections which allow the crew to get a real feel of what it is like outside.
Thus, the researchers would never have to venture out into the cold, and then conduct the research and instead can gauge everything from the Arctic Drifting itself. It is made of Hypalon air bags and can be inflated before usage. Inaccessible landscapes can be better understood with its help and I am sure you would love to be an Arctic researcher yourself.

There is something really cool about robot and maybe that is because of the influence of movies and pop culture which have always been fascinated by all things that are rooted in science fiction. While robots are no more science fiction and a part of reality, Croatian artist Robert Matysiak has designed these cool Robot Lamps using just plumbing supplies.
The lamps are nuiquely designed and come in many different shapes and sizes. Each of these robots that are made from pipes etc, come with bulbs and they make it look rather avant-garde. The plumbing hardware are rigid and quite unchangeable but the Croatian designer has made sure each Robot Lamp has a character of its own.

There is something really annoying about having to get up and check the time every time you are sleeping, lest you got late. It not only is physically troublesome but you would also be afraid that if you didn’t check the time, you would end up getting screwed at your appointments. Realising this problem Florian Schärfer has designed the Melted Clock which lets you grope around the bed in your sleepy state and get the time.
All you would need to do is, find the haptic, touch sensitive alarm clock which comes integrated with speakers and the controls would be integrated in your sheets. The clock would be embedded into your bed and thus you would just need to move your hands here and there to find it and like you are reading Braille, you would just get to know what the time is.

Inesa Malafej and Arunas Sukarevicius from Lithuania must love music and have a great body. The designers must love their musk so much that they can’t stop listening to music while running or working out. They have lunched the cool Dancepants Kinetic Music Player which generates electricity when you run which is in turn used by the mp3 player.
So long as you are running, you will have the mp3 player playing. If you stop running you may end up not being able to listen to music. It is an amazing idea I must say. When you are in the park, you could jog for many minutes and listen to your favourite music all along. Just make sure you hear if someone is calling out your name from behind. The MP3 player can be easily kept in your pockets.
