If you are a true fighter and a luxury lover then hit further to materialize all your wild imagination. The interior decor of the house is accounted as incomplete in absence of a chandelier.

Realizing this Rock and Royal, a company based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands has digged out few revolutionary designer models of chandeliers that respect the persona of your elite villa. Engaged in creating matchless forms of chandelier since 2005, the popular artist Hans van Bentem crafts each unique chandelier while Arno Coenen gathers all the pieces of the mosaics.

Elite Find of the Day: $155K Michelangelo Book for Seriously Rich Readers

Zolamarquis — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 07:51:30 +0000

The very mention of few $$$$ over at EliteChoice gives my readers an indication that am going to unveil some diamond, Swarovski or precious stone encrusted product. But here I have an invitation for richie-rich die-hard book lovers who wish to extend their reading experience. How about keeping hands on some luxury publishing? Called ‘Michelangelo: La Dotta Mano’ (Michelangelo: The Wise Hand), the book comprises of a number of shoots of the Renaissance master’s statuettes and is seen as a much-hyped about coffee table book available on stands this year. Priced at $155,000, the book is available with a 500 year warranty. But a question remains, if not diamonds then what is that one thing that makes it demand such a hefty sum.

Skilled artisans from diverse grounds have worked together to produce this pricey book that is no less than an ‘art by itself’. The photographs are carved on high quality handmade paper with a black marble cover being a scale imitation of the “Madonna della Scala” (“Madonna of the Steps”), a bas-relief of the Virgin and Child sculptured by Michelangelo. Weighing 46.2 pound, the book is available in counted edition of 99 only and would make you wait for another six months from the day of placing an order. Go ahead and tag your name in owning this opulence.

Customized Hookah Tables

Zolamarquis — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 16:21:57 +0000

If your addiction to addiction is coming between you and your beloved then here is a way out. No…No..I won’t ask you to quit it but rather carry on with it silently. Lately u came across the designer and functional Hookah tables at BallerHouse. Fabricated to accommodate four people, the Hookah Table is enormously exceptional as it disguises the hookah pipe on three areas of the table, thereby taking a call who gets to see it. Customized in nature, the Hookah tables are analogous to a multi-chambered bong where “the smoke first pierces into the water chamber from the bowl then travels into the main chamber, where you will see the chamber fill up. And from here finally the smoke moves out into the hookah hoses.

The design and structure of the table can stand upon what’s going in your mind in terms of its shades, wood finishes, bevel options, bowl types, and hose colors. Priced at mere $600, this should be seen as one time investment by all Hookah’s aficionados that will reap benefits ion coming years.
