Steampunk is a design trend that is really catching on with even some mainstream designers taking inspiration from those who love to rev it up and create that unusual yet unique look. The Millennium Chess Table is a wonderful example of the perfect Steampunk design integrated with cool features that make it a truck load of fun. Build to please the Star Wars loyal, the table follows the design of the ship religiously and with meticulous detail. The 50 seconds of music and lighting that emanates from the in-built flash drive mimics the scene from movie as well.

The designs of the table along with its audio and video capabilities make it an exclusively unique piece, that the maker claims would not be repeated by him. Of course, he promises to make non-Steampunk-styled versions of the table and sell them off.

Perfect as a conversation piece in the heart of your living room, its Steampunk style will be the perfect contrast to the regular minimalist style that most modern homes and interiors sport. With various light-patterns built in and switches to control them placed on the table, this will be a lot more than a static piece. Interactive and exclusive, check out the video for the nostalgic trip back in time… and space!

Christmas is just a month away, and so this is just the right time for brands to launch their festival specials. Take Bentley for instance, that has just released its new selection of child seats that go pretty well with the Flying ‘B’. Well, the colors of the seat are the same as the rest of the car interior, hand-stitching included.

So you get a very bright combination of black and red that not only keeps your child safe and comfy but looks good too. We are quite glad to see this product by Bentley for most of the brand’s, and its peers’, creations are meant for the grown up world only. Not many think of the young turks that we want to pass the car-lover bloodline to.

Again, Bentley has not only created a very smart design solution but also lets luxury take a front seat. Now, parents can get their child’s name embroidered on the seat back beneath the Bentely wings. Equipped with such gear, we think you can be quite sure that your li’l one will take on the car-frenzy quite early in life!
